when I have a baby that refuses rodents I offer a frozen thawed chick, which they usually grab and eat immediately. Then I wait a few days, wet the head of a frozen thawed rodent and put some of the chick feathers on it. Offer it from tongs and once they smell the chick they eat it up. The following meal offer a rodent with no chicken scent. I've brought back numerous non-feeders using this method.
