I feed her frozen thawed mice. She has never had live. I am trying to breed mice, but because I have two kittens it is very hard. I've had the mice for 5 weeks and I know they have reached sexual maturity, because I got them when they were aroudn 3 weeks old. I think they can smell my kittens and have not bred due to that. I've been offering her food 1-2 times everyday for three days. I usually use some tongs and wiggle it around until she strikes, but lately, everytime a put a mouse near her, she burys her head in her coiled up body and ignores it. Her eyes do look a little cloudy, but I'm not positive of anything. I checked her underbelly really good and looked up pics of scale rot and other sicknesses, and it looks very healthy. No redness or peeling scales of any sort. I just want to be sure she isn't sick. I wash my hands before and after holding her and I disinfected and rinsed her tank very well before placing her in it. So, I am pretty sure she hasn't been exposed to any diseases while in my care. She came from a breeding lab and was in quarintine until now.
