She's in shed so I wasn't sure if she'd feed at all. But she stuck and ate her first mouse really easily.. But the second.. Well what a hassle! Is this normal? She just kept nudging it and biting it but leave it! It was like she was trying to torment it!

| Looks like she's more interested in the foreceps. Being in shed she might not be that hungry and her vision might also be impaired. As she's eaten one mouse anyway, I'd either give her peace and leave it overnight on a paper towel or just be satisfied with having at least eaten one. |

| I personally wouldn't have tormented her with the mouse for that long, if mine don't take the second straight away i leave them in a RUB with the mouse and more often they will take it. It is just a case of she's in shed and may not have felt comfortable wanting the 2 and being happy thats she's actually taken 1 |

Try putting the food down and leaving it in a quiet place without distractions.
The whole jiggling with forceps is overkill, in general there is too much going on...and THAT...is not normal :D |

You ever heard the saying 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink' lol
To me that was perfectly normal behaviour for a snake that has restricted eyesite, has a mouse bopping her on the nose every few seconds and when she does attempt to get it it drops away from her. Personally I would have laid it down alot sooner as she was interested in it, just didnt like it moving about. |

| I only feed mine once mouse, however, you could try making the brain bleed... that works a lot of the time. |

| My hoggie does this. I know he's hungry and he sniffs at it a lot. I just leave it in the feeding tank with him and cover it with a blanket so he can eat it when he is ready. I wouldn't pester him with it otherwise he would be stubborn an refuse it. |
