She won't eat dead mice, only live ones, she wants to hunt! I'm not really interested in handling her though, just using her as a breeder so it really doesn't matter to me. I usually use a paper towel roll and let her bite that, then grab her from behind and move her to another tub, I haven't got bit yet.
Yikes. The seller said she was easy to handle, so maybe there's some change I could make to tame her down.
