The key is patience. Tease them with the tongs as if it were alive. Depending on the feeding response, they may take with with no problem. It helps to heat them up with a blow dryer for a bit before offering as balls have labial pits which sense change in heat, so this will help the f/t mouse appear alive. Patience is key. Feed at night/in the dark, that may help with any stubborn feeders. As if it was from Ghana, it was a ranched baby.
