super quick feeding question

Should I offer her the F/T rat when she's 100% out of her hide for the night or should I put it on the entrance of her favorite hide? What will be the best in terms of trying to get her to eat? Should I try when she's poking her head out?
Thanks

I would try when she's just starting to poke her head out. Try and "walk" the rodent past the entrance to her hide.

Second that, try when she pokes her head out or really anytime its feeding time. Dottie goes nuts when I walk in the room with a rat and she just about throws the hide off herself and stands up ready to strike and half the time she strikes the air or shadows. She has an ungodly feeding response that puts even my 2 BCIs to shame. Is she eating regularly now? If so, I would just keep doing what you are doing.

I tried both and had no luck. I'll have to try next week...
