I took this girl in on a partial trade and I was told she had eaten two live fuzzy mice before I got her. I have had her about 5 days and she has acclimated well and seems very comfortable...but I cannot get her to eat. I have tried live and f/t and as soon as she sees it coming she's gone, if you stick your hand in or a tongs without a fuzzy she comes right over to see what you're doing, or at the very least doesnt move. She seems very healthy, alert and hydrated, and she shed about 2 days ago. I've tried making an f/t fuzzy "jump around" with the tongs and leaving one with her overnight but nothing. Is there anything else I should try, or just leave her alone for awhile..how long can she go without food? She's about 15-18"
