I've tried tease feeding but she just doesn't seem to want to go for it. I've gotten a couple other ideas also, namely cleaning the pink off well before feeding and lizard scenting (last resort....). I'm gonna try to stop and grab a live pink tonight to try if I can find some real small ones at the pet store. I just fed off my mice because I had them for 3 months with no babies lol.
