In the mean time make sure your setup is perfect temps (80-84 and 90-94), hides (tight and identical), size of the enclosure (not too big) etc. Also limit you handling until you have at least one or two successful feeding (I know it’s hard).

Now my : What I do with new addition is that I feed them exactly whatever they were fed while in the care of the breeder and I do this for at least 3 to 4 weeks, to keep at least on thing consistent, only after those 3 to 4 successful feeding do I attempt to switch to F/T.

Keep in mind not all switch to F/T and some do but it take a long time.
thank you for your reply.
i have all the temps. right, she moves back and fourth from the hot side to the cool side at night, thats the only time she comes out. she has hides on both sides and i covred 3 sides of the tank with cardboard so she doesn't feel so out in the open.
i haven't been handling it at all, and it is hard! shes adorable but i didn't think it would be a good idea since she just got here.

so when i get a feeder mouse i just put in in there with her? if she doesn't eat it right away how long should i wait until i take it out?
hah, i feel if she doesn't eat it right away i'll get attached to it and keep it.
