Thanks everyone. That is all good advice. I think I need to keep trying.
My set up and temps are just about right. But maybe the substrate could be more ideal. So far I've had her on papertowels. I'll get some sphagnum and try that.
Perhaps I was also too diligent with the tease feeding. I didn't exactly "slap" her with the mouse, but I did touch it to her face gently. That didn't go anywhere. She just keeps trying to get away from it. I did make the mouse and fuzzy rats dance around a lot, but I also did touch her face some with it.
I think I'll try again with the moist sphagnum as substrate and if she won't eat FT then maybe I'll try some small live mice.
Uuuuggggghhhhhh. She's driving me nuts!
