How long have you had the diamond? It will need a settling period of maybe 2 weeks before you can expect it to start feeding. It should start feeding on hopper mice if thats what it ate prior to you obtaining it. Dont be present when you feed it. Try leaving a dead mouse in her enclosure overnight and see if it disappears. If its still there in the morning throw the mouse out and try again in a weeks time. Eventually the mouse will disappear.

Also make sure any unshed skin is removed by soaking her in lukewarm water for 20-30mins
