Pinky's only stay pinkies for a few days and they can't live on their own (need milk) so I don't think any pet shop would be able to sell live ones, you need to see or become a breeder. Have you tried other methods eg. moving the mouse so it looks alive or giving it a brain haemorrage, the smell of brain fluid is supposed to tell them it's ready to swallow and it definately "wakes them up", they get a bit more excited, but still don't always eat. I've had a couple of fussy CP's and offering live (only a few times when I was really worried) never got any more of a response but they do say that each snake can be different and respond to different things.
Good Luck!
