F/T problems

Is it common for a baby corn to not eat frozen thawed mice? couple days ago she ate fine with a live mouse but I thought to switch her to f/T early and she wouldn't eat it she looked, smelled and licked it. This is the Second time she refused frozen. Should I just go head and feed live and try with frozen every now and then and hope one day she takes it?

How long are you going between feedings? Are you making the FT pink REALLY hot? As hot as your tap water will go??

6 days this time. No I was instructed to let it thaw naturally and then feed it to her around room temp which sounded odd to me but It came from a trustworthy source so I figured it was correct.

Try boiling the mouse then feeding it. If not, "brain" it by poking a hole in its head and exposing brain "juice".

Yeah, gross. You just need to thaw for a minute in a cup or bowl, under hot running water. I always slit the skull and back about 4-5 times with a tiny scissors. If he doesn't take that, thaw the same way, then pour boiling water over it, and serve immediately.
