The best thing that worked for me this year was tossing a couple of live gold fish in their tubs during the morning when they are most alert. All but one of my hatchlings that had no interest in mice went for the fish right away. They didn't even look at thawed out fish; it was the flopping motion that got their attention. From there they switched to scented pinkies.

Good luck.
