I have used pinkies scented with lizards (Mediterranean geckos and green anoles) with some success for picky baby guttatus and emoryi. And, I've used tease feeding for my pair of baby rhino rats with success. All of the baby obsoletus I've kept (Texas and black rats) have been easy to start, but I have never kept Everglades rats before. I know that our local south Texas lindheimeri will take anoles as babies in the wild - maybe Everglades rats will too, and you might try scenting with anoles or geckos. I freeze a lizard for a week or so to kill any parasites it may be carrying, before using it for scenting...
