Where are you located? Have you sought local help?
Okay that's is VERY helpful! I am located near Ann Arbor in Michigan. I am getting my mice/rats from a mice/rat breeder that is located 30 minutes away. He usually does reptile shows and delivery but I just asked emailed him to see if I could just pick up live pups/fuzzies where he is located to try! So if my next few tries fail I'll definitely do that.

Maybe try something along those lines to encourage him?
Yes I'll definitely do that trick if the next ones fail! That sounds like a good idea
