    While it is a step backward to scent once you have downsize the enclosure again if it still does not work try the following scent for pinkies

    Try chicken again
    Tuna
    Anchovies
    Toad scent if you can have access to that

    Also try offering some hard boiled egg or use that as a scent either one.
    thank you Deborah! I poured through all the threads and found your information to be incredibly useful. One last question for you, when should I start to really worry about her feeding strike? It's been roughly 4 weeks.
