This may be a dumb question but have you tried live pinky mice. Also try putting it in a small cage. I noticed in an earlier post that you are attempting to feed dead pinkies. I have a male that also refused to eat and I tried everything. I tried to force feed a pinky head also and it didn't work. I finally got live pinkies and he ate one after leaving him alone with it for a couple minutes in a butter dish. Something about the movement triggers a feeding response and feeding in a tight space made him feel more secure. To this day he will not eat thawed mice but will eat a live one the instant he sees it move.
