Can you contact him? Maybe he will have some answers for you. Have you tried feeding at night when active and if nothing just leaving the mouse/rat in there to see if she eats when your not looking

Tonight will be my last attempt F/T feed before I resort to live, and then assist if that doesn't work.

I have the hopper mouse de-thawing right now in the fridge in a baggy. Tonight about 30 minutes before she usually ventures out of her hide I am going to put the baggy in a tub of hot water right outside the cage for about 15 minutes to continue the dethaw, help heat up the mouse, and scent the area. Then I will blow dry and fluff the fur and dip in hot water to raise the temps up, but not to hot to where it cooks at all. Then Ill try haha and hope for the best. If she doesn't take right away ill probably leave in her cage for about an hour. If no take, then ill resort to live this weekend.

And that is a good idea, I will have to do some research to get his information and see. The thing is though, I bought two BPs from him, same age and same sex. My other BP is doing fine with F/T mice. But Ill see if I can dig his info out.

Thank you!

Wooooot!

If you can't gather by my response. She ate tonight!!! Finally! After five freaking weeks of fighting her she ate :)

I'm super stoked. Thank you everyone for your contributing ideas and assistance. I will rest easy tonight :)

Awesome news!! :)
