Hola,

I'm looking for a little advice to see who would do what. We have a 10 month old female (royal) we got last week. At her store she was fed live and before they sent us home with her attempted F/T. She was "interested" they said. So today, I gave it a shot. The results were ALMOST excellent. She stalked, smelled, I backed the prey off with the tongs, came back, then paused. She strcuk, had it in her mouth, and of course the crap tongs I bought lost grip and the mouse came out and I was not able to provide a simulated struggle or pull back.

After that she released and lost interest. I left the mouse where is was for a bit, then took it out, brought the kids to school, came back home and reheated the mouse for another go. The last time she smelled and that was about it.

Should I feed live later today, wait another week and try F/T again or what or wait and do live?

Also, I refroze the mouse. Should I just throw it out, or if I refreeze soon enough is it worth another go?

Such a bummer because we were really excited and things would have been perfect if our transition from breeder to home and live to thawed would have gone so perfectly smooth.

Now I'm concerned I stressed her and she'll pull the typical off feed business.

Thoughts???

Regards,
