I have tried in her tank day and night but nothin I tried feeding her in a seperate tub and nothin she doesn't seem interested at all. Any good tips on what will help intice her on the live food?

    Try a smaller than usual prey item?

    What is your setup like? A picture with a brief explanation would be great.

    Re: trouble feeding live

    Just because she ate in it before, doesn't mean that your set-up may not be off. Can you please describe the size of your enclosure, how you measure temps, what the temps are, etc? A picture would be even better.

    How long should I keep the mouse in there for. How long should I wait to feed again?
