*sigh* So I offered F/T mice to my two females last night, with no luck. I have three females and three males left of my babies, of which one female and one male have eaten F/T twice without any problems. The others' last meal was on May 14 and they're only about two months old now.
It was eight days since my last feeding effort, and I had only disturbed them with changing water and the paper towels on the bottom of their enclosures. The other female also got a new humid hide in the middle of the feeding break, but apart from that I haven't disturbed them in any way. The humidity is around 60-65%, the temps about 80-98F. They have hides on the cool and warm side and they've used both. Now their reaction to the mouse was that they started following it (I did the mouse dance) but they didn't strike. So at least they weren't afraid of it. Could it be the mouse wasn't the right temperature? It was warm, but I'm not sure of the exact temperature. I tried both young adults and fuzzies but neither worked. I left the fuzzy in one of the enclosures for the night, but no luck.
These girls have eaten live mice with the breeder, and I've tried to give them F/T three times now. I'm thinking I'll try P/K next time, because it would be important that they eat something. What do you think? Getting the live mice (which I'll prekill) won't be easy, as pet stores in Finland don't sell live mice for feeding (against the law), and mice breeders only sell (I presume) mice that have reached maturity. It's not a way I'd like to go, but...
BTW I'm going to give the two other males F/T tonight, didn't try with them yesterday. See if they'd eat...
