She's a proven breeder. I've tried mice, she'd eat them. I tried scenting the tub with rodent aspen, got her to eat a live small rat followed by a f/t wean rat. And most recently, she was completely indifferent to a live mouse. I've also tried defrosting a mouse with the rat, cracking the brain cavity open and smearing the goo onto the rat. She seems to just be picky for mice, I'm hoping she'll respond to scenting the tub again if I put the male in.


As far as the enclosure, when I first got her she was put in a 36x18 glass cage for about a month, denied two med. rats. She was then placed into a 28qt tub in my rack where she's been ever since. I've tried giving her a hide, she used it a bit but it didn't really seem to help. For my next feeding attempt in a week or so, I'm going to scent the tub and put in the hide.

The ambient room temp is 75ish, humidity is about 50-60%, I don't mist often. Hotspot is 89-92, heat tape on a herpstat. Is there any other advice you can give me now that you better understand the situation ?
