Yeah the couple times I've tried feeding her it was in a room with the door closed (and the dog outside)So if you have other pets, you might consider keeping them away.
I might try this later on if she still won't eat live after letting her be.I would try frozen thawed
I'm going to wait until this weekend (which will be about 7 days) and try again. I won't move her or anything but will keep a close eye on her and wait till the night. I didn't touch her at all yesterday and don't plan on it for the whole week. Maybe this will make her feel better. If after a week of her being in her tank and her being left alone she still doesn't eat I'm going to transfer her to a tub (which will be more snug) and wait a week again. Hopefully I won't have to do anything more drastic than that =/ She's only about 2 1/2 months old so I don't want to push the "How long can you go without eating". I'm also going to buy a scale this weekend so I can weigh her to make sure she's not losing excessive weight or anything. One step at a time I guess...Make sure your husbandry is spot on and offer at night when its quiet. Give Her the mouse and back away a few feet to supervise. If she's doing that jerky running away just take it out. Honestly I'd wait 7-10 days before offering again. This will let her destress, settle in and get hungry.
Also, although her tank is big I have the warm side anywhere from 88-94 and the cool side around 78-82. She has fresh water everyday and enough aspen to burrow under if she needs to. Humidity is also kept at about 60%.
