Jeff,
I think you should send it to me and I'll take care of your problem feeder for you. No charge :^)
Seriously, you can get deer mice from the Univ. of S. Carolina. Here's the website:

They are expensive though, like $17 each and they only ship via air cargo.
I got one of my stubborn hodurans to eat by giving him a humid hide box with sphagnum moss. I also had a friend who was keeping deer mice (and has since gotten rid of them) who gave me some of the pine shavings that they lived in. I simply washed a live pinky, put it in the bag of shavings, and gave it a good shaking. Sometimes I'd leave it in the bag overnight and give it to the honduran the next morning. He eventually started eating regularly.
If you still have trouble though, send him my way (LOL).
