If she still won't eat, take her out for a half hour while someone else cleans everything I'm her cage. They won't eat if it smells like their filth. If they smell it prey smells it so it shuts them off. Clean everything out, add a hide for her. Break the mouses neck, throw it in tank, put your baby in the tank and cover it with a towel for 2 hours. I did this step by step and broke a 3 week no eating habit on my smallest girl. Cheers.

    Really??? You smash the poor mouse up against the wall!!! There are far more humane ways to kill a prey item. This is just barbaric. Please find better ways to euthanize a mouse. To the OP, please DO NOT do this to a live mouse. Stick with other advice you have been given.
