Wish my princess & I luck because we just got our shipment of F/T mice from rodentpro & we are going for her first feed! Keep your fingers crossed kids!!
Life is like a game of poker. You can play each hand to the best of your ability but you are still going to run into a bad beat from time to time. What matters is how you handle it. Do you go on tilt or can you maintain your composure & rebuild your stack?

OK all, what now? I opened the tank, made little mouse man do a little dance & within seconds Hissy struck & took hold her the mouse. She took it into her hide & then decided that she had no interest in eating it. So, i picked the mouse back up (with the tongs of course) & started to make the mouse dance again. She flicked her little tongue at the mouse a whole bunch & ultimately decided she was just not interested. What is the next step? At this point i left the mouse in there & I have a big towel over the tank in hopes that she will gain interest. It was very obvious from her quick strike that she is hungry. What should I try next??

ok, you need to make sure the mouse is thatwed completly, and pretty close to body temperature, You bp probably thought it was too cold. Try letting it sit underneath a basking light for a few minutes and try again. If that doesn't work wait a couple of days and do it again.

May the poundage ensue!
Often when they strike , coil (or not) and release but lose interest it's because they are reacting to the scent well but don't find they prey warm enough. Pop that sucka under a heat lamp right quick, sometimes touching the nose to the bulb real briefly. You can also get this reaction from overheating - but usually the tell-tale sign of that is a slight balooning in the stomach of the prey and sometimes they'll actually rupture. This happened to lil Benny this past feed and when he coiled the mouse popped a little on his neck when he made to constrict (was a smaller sized f/t than we were used to so it was inadventently overheated in the thaw). He had that paralyzed look of disgust like someone who had just stepped in something barefoot.

This is some fantastic verbage smulkin (great analogy, made me crack up!)

LOL - but true. The minute he felt it on his neck he froze, and if he had lips to curl or buttcheeks to clench up I'm sure he'd have been sporting those too.
