Once you've managed once or twice , you get confident and then you expect it to work ...

Feed at evening , in low light .... even offer in front of her hide and she may strike from within the hide .

Just takes patience and follow the guidelines I mentioned in my previous post ..

Good luck !

Hi Zincubus,
This girl i'm talking about does the same thing. She seems fairly interested in it while i'm dangling it in front of her (keeping it still). She will sit straight up flickering her tongue at it, but then it's like she loses interest and moves away. Then if I start making it crawl around on her and following her around with it she doesn't want anything to do with it. I still haven't given in and gave her a live mouse yet this time.

Are you saying we should keep warming the mouse up during the same feeding attempt?
