I have a small BP that I adopted from a pet store. She had been being fed live mice (ugh) and also was in too-cool, not-warm-enough conditions.

She had a nice (well, nice is a strange word in this situatuin, lol) bowel movement a few days ago and I decided to try feeding her a f/t mouse. She retracted her head and balled up, appearing terrified.

I know that she had been fed live mice; I walked in last month to find them feeding her one, and she did eat it, but after that they tried another one (I heard) and it bit her. Is there any way to get her to know that mice are not going to hurt her? She is not starved-looking, but does appear a bit thin.
