but i'll try your advice. cuz i think i really made it stressed about the 2nd mouse.
however, what about the 2nd mouse? should i leave both mice in the viv? and wait for an hour? while , ofcourse keeping eye on them!?
If I were you, I would only leave one feeder inside the viv at a time. Make sure the mouse is fed before you give it to the snake. Don't handle the snake on feeding day. Feed in the evening hours when the snake is active. Feed on the same day, same time. Keep the mouse in the same room for about 15 minutes or so before feeding. The scent will get the the snake into "feeding mode." Finally give the snake privacy to make the kill. I have found that some of them are shy, and tend to miss when a human is looming above them. Give this a shot and see if it works. Good luck.
