>>I usually feed the next day(ie not the morning i find the shed the next morning), since they haven't eaten for about 7-10 days by then.
>>never had a problem or a refusal.

I'm trying to switch her around to rats. Tried the rat first and had a couple large mice ready but wouldn't take those either. I'm going to give it another shot tonight. If she won't take the rat or the mouse tonight I'm planning on just trying the mouse on Sunday evening.

Then, I'll start trying some of the tricks like a brown paper bag, etc. At least that's my game plan as of now unless you have a better suggestion.

I also noticed it felt like she had a couple solids near her vent and I'm going to soak her to see if I can get her to expell them. She hasn't gone for about 2 weeks now.

I do appreciate your help.
