    Have the thawed mouse ready in tongs ... hot blast for 10 to 15 seconds then INSTANTLY dangle the mouse in front of the hide entrance ....they usually take it under first time but yours may take 6 or 7 attempts . If there is any interest shown , even a tongue flicker then that's your cue to keep trying ...

    I second the hairdryer trick and what's been said about feeding at night. Also make sure it's a small enough mouse since she's so tiny. Hopefully she'll go for it.
