Thaw the fuzzy, warm under light like the store told me to then make it dance at the end of tongs. I even wear gloves. She stopped shedding about a week ago. She doesn't seem interested at all. I have a feeder box with a hide away and water...it is making me very anxious that she now has not eaten for me in about a month. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong...tryin too often, not enough, do I need to do it at night when she's more active?... Please help! Thank you!
What are your temps and humidity?
Are you using a UTH? Is it regulated?
How many hides do you have?

I'd give her a week before you try again. You could be stressing her by trying too often and stressed bp's don't like to eat. Also make sure that the mouse is the appropriate size.

So give her a week, and try at night. If she doesn't strike at it just leave it in the cage. I got my baby May 30th and went to feed her June 5th. I dangled the mouse and she perked her head up but didn't strike. I had been reading this forum, and read somewhere that a person left a mouse overnight. So I decided to do that, and came back 45 minutes later and the mouse was gone.
