Another thing that's been working for me is using a frozen lizard w/its head chopped off, thawed out a little, and rubbing the thawed pinkie in the lizard blood where I cut the head off. It's kinda gross, but whatever it takes is my motto. Lastly, if that all fails and in lieu of using a pinkie pump, you can cut off the tail of an adult mouse at the base of the mouse's tail and gently pry open the mouth of the hatchling with the cut part of the tail and gently massage it down the hatchling's throat. This has worked great for me this year on a few very reluctant agalma hatchlings.
