The gerbil idea sounds great! Definitely going to pick up some of that bedding tonight. Also realized the fan might not have been the best idea because of the low level noise it was making. Instead, I'm going to pre kill the mouse I have tonight (humanly of course) and rub the brain matter along the floor path leading to the hide.

Last night I tried to get video of inside the wall using a smartphone. The walls look complicated and passible on the inside :/ I was worried the light might have made my girl even more skittish so I stopped after a few tries. I have a head lamp that emits a red light so I'll be using that to check up on her in the up coming days.

We are actually moving out tomorrow but our lease doesn't end till the 17th. This means that there will be a few days of peace and quiet for my girl where she might be more likely to come out during the night. I'm crossing every finger I got at this point.

Thanks everyone for the support by the way! You've guys have made the last couple of days at least manageable
