When Anoxes (ann-ox-es) has to eat frozen thawed or pre-killed food, I usually have no problems. When she was a baby (WORST time to not eat) she only ate every 2 weeks or so. So I put a little stick under the dead mouse, and wiggled it. This usually helps entice the snake to take a bite. And when they take a bite, well they ate the whole thing!

Your. Mice you are feeding now are just like frozen mice except you have to thaw them properly before feeding by taking a cup and filling it with warn water. Then set your mice in it for about 10-15 minutes or until the core is not frozen.an then just feed em... I cannot stress enough feed them away from substrate and make sure the mouse is completley thawed:)
