Always been a great feeder, she just doesn't seem interested in mice anymore even when brained, she just slithers over them ! Would rather go explore, also when I push her belly it feels baggy and not firm anymore, I hope it's just the winter snap and she will return soon but I'm running out of ideas :(

If the temps in her viv are stable the winter shouldn't affect her eating. Are you getting the mice from the same place? I've had trouble before when I switched suppliers

Yeah still the same mice hasn't changed, it's as if the mice isn't there she's just not interested :( tbh I haven't changed anything. Being oppertunists ud think they would snap it up, she's more concerned with exploring and getting out her feeding bin. Iv also tried leaving it in her viv

How often are you trying? I'd offer a smaller mouse once a week, really hot

She's a year old and on medium mice one a week I just try every week, what would u recommend to get it hot without loosing the goodness from the mice?

A hair dryer! Works a treat but the zombie mice do jump about if you have it on too strong!

Maybe try a boiled large pink? You pour just boiled water out of a kettle over it and leave for it to go pale and rubbery. Reluctant hatchlings go crazy for them in most cases.
