What method are you using to defrost your rodents? I have a female transpecos that was a pain to get feeding. She finally took some live pinks, then took f/t, but only if defrosted by a heat light. She wont take the ones defrosted in hot water that I prepare for the rest of the collection. If you are defrosting them in water, try removing hers and defrosting near a heat source light a heating pad, or the warm area near an electronic device. It may retain more natural scent and be more naturally warm for them. You can also offer off of tongs to get give the prey some movement.

Good luck!!
