Tricked Her!

[Galaxygirl]

Thank you for sharing that I'll definitely try your trick with my yearling girl.

When I got her, at the first 6 months she refused everything what I offered. Every sort of type, form, size, living, F/T or prekilled. I've tried smaller tubs, big cages, different hides, full deep cleaning before feed, put in the box for a car ride, don't offer nothing for one month, but nothing seems to work with her. In the next step I failed to assist feed mice and rats too, so she left me no more choice, I started to force feeding with rat pinks. After two-three FF attempts she took mice with assist feeding. Now she's slamming one single adult mouse per week, but when I try to give a rat, she still refuse even if it's scented. I'll try your method at the next feeding. If it'll working I'll be really happy.

I hope it works! I have one that'll only eat gerbils ):

nice trick!

i hope she doesn't have the "fool me once, shame on you. fool me - you can't get fooled again" mentality.

anyway what did u end up naming this shy lil cutie?

Hahaha I hope so too. We'll see what happens.. I think I'm gonna call her Sona (:
