Diamond not eating Dolittle mice

My yearling female diamond is refusing to take dolittle mice. She has been on pisces mice since hatchling. I can't seem to find any stores which are selling pisces rodents atm and had to settle on the more expensive dolittle mice as a result. However she has been refusing them during my last four attempts at feeding her with the Dolittle mice and chose to take chicken heads and wings.

Any one know of any shops that stocks pisces rodents around SW sydney way ?

RE: Diamond not eating Dolittle mice

I am having a similar 'problem' with a young carpet, prefers my home grown to store bought for some reason, maybe trying rubbing one of the preferred rodents onto the dolittle one, see if that makes any difference.
