I might try that this week, after her normal feeding. She is scheduled to feed again on Tuesday... Normally a F/T adult mouse...

The only other thing I could think of is maybe trying a different type of hide? Something that makes her feel more enclosed might help to lower her level of stress...... RBI has some nice ones that I use.
Edit: Nevermind I looked at the last pic a little closer and saw it was 93 on the warm side. I assumed because you had the lamp on that side that was the warm side lol. My bad :D
Nope, sorry... that is the cool side. The warm side is actually at 90 degrees. It took me FOREVER to find these hides. She has had them for almost a month now, and she refused to use anything else prior to this except for some old small plastic cereal bowls which she is way too big for now.
Re: STRUCK... but not bitten?!?!
Wow, thats strange. I wold just try to figure out what could be stressing her out and try to change it. check the temps and umidity, maybe? I dont know. Almost two weeks ago now, I got a seven foot long red tail girl, and after an hour and a half long car ride, then another half hour for me to get her huge, cutom cage in place and warm it up (so inother words, she was probably a bit stressed out)- I got her out and she struch at me. The weirdest part about it- she struck, and had her mouth around the side of y hand- yet her teeth didnt touch me?? So she like, 'mouthed' me? Im still trying to figure that one out because I jsut dont see how her teeth didnt get me...
