Don't worry about sleeping in the same room. I sure hope she took the pinky from this morning...it really does sound like those other pinkies were spoiled, plus being
thawed & overly warmed, yuck. Yes, try the "bowl" thing first- she'll find the live pinkie by scent just fine...UNLESS she actually ATE the f/t pink from this morning. IF
she did, don't switch to live, just keep her on f/t pinks...ok? So give the cage a thorough check before you get any live pinks. Yes, it's hard to do without stressing her
some, do the best you can...keeping my fingers crossed that she ate & can stay on f/t pinks. (I've been known to leave pinkies on a large jar lid or plastic top.)
