Grey inside? You cut it open an it was grey as in no blood? Are the mice mussy? With red meat if it's grey it's blood less an freezer burnt. With prey I've only seen that with old refrozen prey. Shops freezer had failed an they just refroze everything an sold it like nothing happened, That's why I raise my own.

Tons of "tricks" to make prey tasty to snakes. Thaw in the snake room or on top of the cage. Hit the hair dryer of a bit then offer to the snake. Zombie mouse dance. You don't just hold it by the tail. Move the mouse across the snakes view. Braining prey. Drop feeding, just drop the prey in the cage an if it's still there in the morning, toss it out. Smaller prey, it works an that's what matters. Others will add more like scenting prey an 100 others things.


Good luck!
I waited somere and my BP finally noticed and ate the mouse, he was so desperate to eat that he successfully ate it back first. By grey inside i mean like.. What the mouse looks internally. To explain better, i got a mouse that was furless on a big part of its belly, it was squishy and had that funky smell like all the other mice did, but since the skin was so thin i could see right through it and saw a dark grey color. I often times saw that with the other mice too though, just not that clearly,i just wanted to know if it was normal.
