Hopefully this will continue without the for a mouse. Thanks for the suggestions, folks!
Congratulations on getting your BP to eat! A couple things that jumped out to me in your post. Sounds like you only waiting two nights to offer again which is a little to soon to offer again. Rule of thumb is to wait another week but in your case it worked so kudos to you.

Also, the 3 things you listed (hair dryer, not removing hide and turning lights off) are key ingredients to successful feedings so keep them up. Congrats.
