I don't know why I didn't think of this before!
I've been feeding her frogs and frog-scented hoppers, but today when I was at the grocery store I thought to myself "I bet she also ate fish in the wild." So I went to the fish department and got a few catfish nuggets. I cut them to size, battered them with calcium powder, put them in her cage and waited. Well, as you can see in the picture, my hunch was right. Now I can try to scent the mice with catfish, which is a lot cheaper than frogs, and the possibility of reintroducing internal parasites is a lot smaller.

Best regards,

Sacha
