I know I would definitely want to die by constriction than having to die in a car accident. Fast death vs slow death.. hmmm..

So! It's really like fainting is to us. It's not all that unpleasant, maybe a bit weird feeling.

The main thing is to get her eating and get her happy about eating. After a few weeks of consistent meals, you might try switching her to f/t again. All of mine eat live mice(43 Ball Pythons, and a Short Tail Python). It makes me feel better to know that the mice were very well cared for before they were fed off. I give them wholesome food, clean, plentiful water, clean and soft bedding to sleep in, treats to eat, pecan branches to chew on. I know they at least had a good life while they were here, and know they are as healthy as I can make them.

Does that help any?
That DOES make me feel a little better...I didn't realize it is compared to fainting. I just have these awful pictures in my head of the mouse shrieking for its life as its eyeballs pop out of its head and guts go spilling out everywhere.

Thats true that yours have a good life while they are here. Does it ever get hard to part with them?
