So I would take the f/t back out and heat it up more and sure enough he would strike, wrap, and down the hatch it goes. I usually thaw the f/t in the fridge during the day while I'm at work. Then at around 3:00pm my daughter takes them out of fridge and puts them somewhere to get to room temperature. Then when I get home I put each f/t in a seperate baggie (with the top of the baggie open) and lean it against their enclosure to scent the tub. Then when it's time to eat I use an old hair dryer to heat them up. This last feeding day I actually took a heating pad and turned it on low and placed it on top of the f/t's for about 30 minutes (15 on each side) and then used a hair dryer to get the head of the f/t the hottest spot and it worked really well.
Now that i think of it the first time i fed him the mouse was real warm rather then room temp
