I havent kept spotteds but this year none of my Julatten jungles accepted food the first attempt. 2nd attempt was similar so I left the pinky rats in the tub........2 hours later 100% success rate.

If none of them are eating, I would say it is likely to be a husbandry issue. How are you heating them? Where are they spending most of their time (ie always sitting at the hot end or always sitting at the cold end)? What temp is the cool end? Simplest solution I would suggest is bumping the hot spot temp up a couple of degrees.
