Another update:
After the mice was rejected I left it in a small plastic container next to the snakes enclosure for almost a week. Fed the mice, of course. But let it get rather stinky...
I notice that the snake started to hang out of her hides more at night... Hmmm, I though. Let's drop the mice in and see...
BAM!
After a very careful tracing, the snake got the mice, killed within 10 sec and swallowed as fast.
I was ready to cry honestly.
So my plan now is:
get the mice 2-3 days earlier of the feeding day, let the mice permeate the air with its smell, feed the mice when the snake is out and about.
Hopefully I can replicate the earlier outcome. Fingers crossed.
