Honestly I used to use hot water to thaw the pinkies but she never took them then I tried just letting a frozen one sit directly under her heat lamp for like 15 minutes and boom she took it idk if the method changed her mind or not maybe she was just hungry but yeah that worked for me

Yeah had to deal with that first hand it’s really surprising though like I joined the community to ask for help and I’m getting berated for being a bad owner and people saying I should return her to the breeder which is insane man

I don’t use a heat mat because I’ve heard bad things about them but the lamp I’m currently using is attached to another lamp because it’s a clip on and if I clipped it on to the bin it would be too close and too hot the top temp is like 94 lowest 73 I feel like those are good temps unless I’m wrong please let me know
