Sorry to hear about your reluctant feeder. I've never really had a problem getting them to eat. The first thing that struck me as a potential problem is the temperature. It never gets above 73 ambient for them and stays pretty much from 64-73 except when brumating. You may want to try peromyscus pinks if you can get ahold of them. They work wonders w/ baby mandarins and reluctant feeders and are smaller. They are domesticated deer mice. They are tough to come by.



Not sure what I'll have available yet, I'm awaiting another clutch to be deposited within the next 10 days or so.



Good luck
