So I did better this time...in a way.
I waited till I saw her out of her hide Curiously nuzzling the side where the mice were defrosting. Good sign I thought. Maybe this time will be a good time. I made sure the mice were defrosted and I heated them up with a blow dryer a few feet away until they were at or slightly higher than 1-4*
When I went back to the cage she was in her hide again. I said, thats okay, Coax her out gentle. So I danced the mouse on the tongs infront of each hide for a few minutes. Gave up and layed it atop a hide then did the same with the other mouse.
Maybe she'll eat them when I am gone like last time. But darn it I'd like her to take them from me so I can have peace of mind. Maybe the blow dryer scared her? Or my rendition of someone's in the kitchen with dinah?
I dunno what I am doing wrong here but she still doesn't trust me it seems. I was hoping to start handling her for the first time this week around wednesday.
Edit: the lights weren't on in the room she was in either.
