Hi,

I thought I would update this post with the progress so far.

- I made a couple of attempts with a f/t mouse and a f/t rat. No interest. She acted scared of them.
- Next, I tried with a smaller item, and left it overnight. It was completely untouched the next day, and she would not go anywhere near it.
- Finally, I got a couple of small live rats, and decided to try if she would take a live rat first, and then try to take her from there to f/t rats. She struck almost immediately.
- While I had her still with a feeding response, I thought I would try offering the second rat, but this one pre-killed. She seemed interested at first, but did not go for it. Tried wiggling it, but only scared her off. BUT, I decided to leave it in for a little bit and give her some privacy. Checked again after 2 hours, and it was gone!

So, very small win, but I'll take it. So far I've gotten her to take a pre-killed rat, and my strategy will now be to ramp from that to f/t.

Just thought I'd post the update here in case anyone was interested. But if you have any other suggestions, I'll be happy to hear them.
