    Feeding multiple

    I've heard from many people on here, if your feeding multiple mice feed on the same day. I've been told to feed the first then 15-20 mins later offer the second.

    A day ago i fed my 4 year old female 1 of 3 mice but when i tried to offer her the second she acted like she was going to strike but then just completely lost interest. Last week i did this and she did the same so i fed her the other mice the following two days, successfully. But this time (today would be the following day, she ate a mouse yesterday) she acted like she was going to strike but then just lost interest. She has been fed F/T her whole life and just started eating live (just an FYI)

    My question is, why isn't she taking the mice all in the same day? I know she has the hunger and capacity to do so. AND im wondering why she didn't take the mouse today. The mouse i fed her yesterday was TINY. I know she must be hungry.

    It almost seems to me as if she doesn't like all the movement of the live food, and is intimidated, yet she is big enough to eat small rats. (I could be COMPLETELY wrong)

    My husbandry is all correct, in case someone was going to ask. I've spent time perfecting it over the past month that i've been reading and and asking questions on this forum.

    Input is apreciated
