Try a earthworm. It tends to end hunger strikes. Sounds like she's a puffer fish right? What kind? Sounds like a small one so I'm thinking a figure eight or gsp, or a dwarf. If it is the latter is she in fresh water or brackish; if the former maybe the feeder snails are too big? Is she still swimming fine or lay on her side, cause if she still goes sideways or belly up she might have an air bubble.

Could repost your question more clearly? What type of fish is this? What are your water parameters? Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and PH. Could you post a picture if nothing else? I would like to help you but I need some more information.
