    Use tongs...shouldn't matter where she is...slight wiggle of the prey, going "past" (away from) her (not AT her); to get more response to f/t pinkie, squeeze the nose
    with tongs to damage slightly, that will release more scent. I have a gut feeling that you won't need to do this, but just in case.

    But if, when you're ready to feed her, she is hiding, or if she won't take the pinkie from tongs, just leave it nearby for her to find
    when you're not there...just in case she is that shy. (leave pinkie on a flat piece of cardboard or jar lid or similar thing so she won't
    ingest substrate with it)
