I tried feeding my 8 month old Ball "Akooma" for the first time tonight. Unfortunately it ended in dissapointment. The mouse actually touched noses with her, but little response.

There are a couple of things I would like to note. 1) When I got home with the mouse, I realized that it stunk, pretty badly too, kind of like shrimp. Do you think that could be a deterrent?
2) How long should I wait before trying again? I don't know how long that mouse can hang out in my spare tank. It's got some shredded paper and cat food lol, but no water spout.

Much appreciated.
