After exhausting all possibilities and trying many different ways with F/T. Chicken broth, warm water , jiggling it to the left, then to the right (mouse macarena). I even started making chirping sounds like a mouse ! (jst kidding) . And nothing. It might as well been a bologna sandwich.

I tried one more time with F/T and nothing. So i put in a live hopper, 2 seconds later, YAHTZEE !!! Struck in seconds. Man, what a relief.
So i'm going to feed live til shes "up and running" then try and reintroduce F/T here and there.

Thanks to all for the advice. Ant the Vets for their patience.
