New Ball not feeding

[NYHC4LIFE8899]

I attempted to feed the night i got her, because the pet store lady tried to feed her at the store before i got her. the mouse was refused and is now a pet of a friend...i thawed out the mouse in the fridge over night then put it under the heating light for a few minutes before attempting to feed. I understand she probably had live mice before, but i need to take steps to convert her to frozen/thawed and i am willing to be patient.



okay, thanks! thats how i thawed this mouse out as well. Did you take your snake out of the enclosure to feed to just leave it in? And is there any way to make sure the snake knows the mouse is there? I know this will sound stupid, but my girl just climbed around the sides of her tank and did not even acknowledge the mouse at all

no,I feed mine in the enclosure. I been advised by a few friends to do so. I have tongs so I hold the f/t mouse by the tail and move it around,he smells it and grabs it within sconds. I think since the stress easy moving them constantly to feed them will only put more stress on them,plus after he eats I do t wanna bother him and pick him up. I have handled him many times and never ever strikes at me,he's actually quiet timid and very nice. After it's thawed,I put the mouse on top the screen and open the ziplock so he can smell it and once he gets a whiff,he's out and his tongues going. He knows it's feeding time.

im100% new a this!I just gt my firs snake3 weeks ago.What works for me is what I'm telling u...hope it helps
