Have you thought of asking the humane society for the details about how they went about the feeding routine since it worked so well for them?

Maybe they were doing something completely different ( what state were the mice in when they fed her F/T or PK or live? ) that you haven't got round to trying yet.

If it was PK or FT for example they may have been leaving it in the tank overnight or even covering the tank with a towel or something while feeding.

There is also the prey types you have not tried yet - I was thinking maybe chicks or ASF's as a short term idea to get a rythm going if she would accept either?

But asking for the details of the original feeding routine would be the best first step I think. Borrowing the wifes hairdryer to really heat up the head of the PK and FT's is always worth trying too - but if you get caught it was nothing to do with me allright?

I wish I could, I've tried contacting the humane society many times since I got her and they have ignored me completely. Unfortunately the only means of communication I have with them is email. I never had a phone number and the only correspondence I had with them was email. The place I picked her up from was a volunteers house so I couldn't even go back to where I got her..... When I picked her up I was told she was eating f\t white mice.

When I feed f\t I put the head in front of my che for a few moments to warm it up.

Ha Ha the hair dryer has already been hidden so I can't use it to heat them up ha ha ha. I just use warm water with the mouse in a bag to thaw them out, and like I said hold it in front of the che to bring the heat up.
