I love your setup and dogs and I also like your house interior! LOL
Good luck if you're trying f/t! Do you know what she was on before?

Great , mine all eat thawed frozen every offering .
The way I do it stems from mine preferring to strike feed from the security of their hide so I wait until evening time when they're more alert , turn the lighting off and dangle a warmed up rat in front of the entrance using tongs . They normally strike straight away especially as I leave the rodents thawing in the reptile room for hours before .
As long as they show interest , a sniff or a tongue flick I then warm up the rat for 10 seconds using a hairdryer then offer IMMEDIATELY whilst it's still warm . I do that as many times as it takes - sometimes 4 or more but they get increasingly interested each offering .
Good luck with however you go about it though !!

Thanks! Seems pretty straightforward, I'll try just the way you said it. Do you know any other way of heating the mice? (I don't have a hairdryer lol

I know many dip in very warm water for a moment and dry on kitchen roll , others lie them on a spare heat mat for a few minutes in between attempts .
I always avoid soaking in water just because I'm guessing they lose some of their scent ...
You can buy a cheap 3 dollar travelling hairdryer off eBay or at a bargain store ...

I use a bowl of warm water (just hot enough that you can still put your fingers in and won't get burned) for a couple minutes, and then dab them on a paper towel to get the soaking water off, and offer immediately.
