>>One interim step is to go with fresh killed. Get her to accept food that does not move or exhale. Of course try her first on the F/K and if she won't take it you can still give it to another hatchling.

Yeah....except that I'm too much of a softy....

I killed plenty of rodents for both rodent food and research in my younger days, and I still euth animals whenever medically indicated -- but at this stage of my life, I'm not willing to distress myself that much just because this little stinker wants to be difficult. Yes, it's not terribly logical -- but people aren't always logical!
