    Re: Issues with Mice...

    You can also try taking a pair of scissors, cut up 2 or 3 minnows in like 3 pieces each, and do the same with the pinkies. Mix 'em up in a nice dish, and serve it on a platter.

    This is how I did it with my scrubs... mixed fish and mouse parts for a few weeks, then stopped adding fish. Triggering the feeding response with fish seemed to get them going. Only a few times did one eat the fish but not the pinky parts.

    Something you could try is letting the food sit somewhere nearby where they can smell it for a little while before feeding. I thaw pinkies in air on top of their cages for an hour or two and it seems like the scent gets them cruising around. Often they'll grab a piece before I even get them out of my hand and into their feeding containers.
