You shouldn't have top force feed Olives! Try chicken fat or Quails.

Has it always been force-fed? Can you post a pic of the set up he/she is kept in?

You just purchased him - when did he get last meal?

ive nver been in this situationmyself but i have heard if mice is your preferred feeding option and they are not taking it then u can rub the mouse up against some chicken to give it the chicken scent...maybe just an idea to consider

i hope this helps and u get your olive feeding soon cheers dean

I'm with Wokka, try Quails, or if you can get them, Finches, to get started
