Conditioned Place Aversion (CPA) assays in Mice.. Thoughts?

We’ve had a helluva time trying to get CPA and burrowing to work in mice. We tried CPA to formalin way back in the day, and got nothing. For burrowing, mice definitely are as eager to do it as rats, but neither SNI nor CFA seem to reduce it, in either CD-1 or C57BL/6 mice.
