Dunno if this has been suggested before (probably) or if it's a good idea but it worked for me my royal hadn't eating for aboout 4 weeks when i first got him and i tried all sorts of different methods with no luck, i realised he was weary of me every time i opened the lid of the tank so i tied a long piece of cotton around the tip of the mouses tail and carefully opened the lid enough to dangle the rodent in the tank then stood back out of view and wiggled the cotton a little, sure enough he took it no problem since then hes got used to seening me about and takes food no problem. hope this helps.
