Mine fed for the first time last night, I thawed at room temp for a couple hours then hit it with the blow dryer for a bit to warm it up to around 100 degrees or so then danced it in front of its hide for about a minute or so and got nothing. So I heated it back up and uncovered him and danced it around him for another minute or so with little interest. So back to the dryer to warm it back up then I started lightly tapping the mouse against the snakes body and boy did he perk up then and got REAL interested in it. After a missed strike and another reheat of the mouse , a few more light taps on the body of the snake I put somewhat close to his face(never touching the face) and he struck it had it tied up for about 2 mins then swallowed it in a matter of 3 mins. Covered him back up with his hide and I will check the enclosure when I get home to be sure all is well. Hope this helps
