Struck, missed, then lost interest in a mouse
I was trying to feed Fidget today, and she didn't eat the mouse. As usual, I left the mouse out for an hour to defrost, warmed it with a blow dryer for around 3 minutes, placed Fidget in a plastic tub, and dangled the mouse about a centimeter or two away from her face with tongs for a little under an hour. This has worked the last few times that I've fed her. I know it's not because she's about to shed, because she shed a little under two weeks ago. She's only about seven months old so I'm assuming it's not because of breeding season (not sure about actual gender). She struck at the mouse one time, and missed, but then seemed to immediately lose interest afterwards, and just wandered around the tub. The first time I fed her, she struck and missed, but did not lose interest and got it the second time. Any ideas or suggestions on why she did not eat this time around, or how I can get her to eat it if this happens again?
