Re: how long
You can leave frozen thawed items overnight but not much longer because they will start to rot.

Hi,
For next time maybe give him a little longer pre-scenting the room before offering and making sure the F/T's head is nice and hot - I give it a good blasting with the hairdryer. :gj:

Hi,
As in the heat guns used for stripping paint?
I would think those would be waaaay to hot and either cook it or singe the hair right off it - either way it's not a good thing.
If you can't use a hairdryer then resting the head near a bulb for a short while can do it - you want it to get as hot as a normal living mouse or only slightly hotter.

Re: how long
yes, she has eaten live but i thought i would give a try with f/t. she ate f/t for a month and then all of a sudden just didnt eat, i waited a week she at, so i try again and hse didnt, so ithought hmm maybe she eat every other week, so after she didnt eat that week i waited a week and no success. im going to be trying live again i just dont want her to get bit, the breeder i got her from said she was born in august or september of 08, so she is almost a year old i guess.EDIT: she is a little over 2 feet fight now
