    I swear I've seen them feed frozen thawed in the video's.

    Make sure the mouse is up to the correct temp around 100degrees, especially around the head. Also, try cutting into the head out the mouse to expose some brain smell and taste. My BP is extremely picky about the temp of the F/T.. too cold she looks the other way, just right.. bam! Hope it works for you

    If it has already eaten 3 frozen thawed I would not offer live... If its hungry and your husbandry is spot on it will eat. Mine tends to eat 3-4 meals then skip 1 or 2 its just how BP's are.. they are picky and eat when they want not when you want them to....
