I do not have a clue to this day as to why she refused this particular mouse? I don't feed live if I have a choice now. Is much safer.
My bp had a 3 legged mouse he refused to eat. Id only leave them in the feeding tank for about 30 mins tops. (Usually takes him 5) But they would just hang out. The mouse would just be standing on top of him or sitting in the middle of his coils cleaning itself. It was ridiculous. Tried to feed him in between other mice he ate for a couple month before i gave the darned thing to a friend for his snake.
