behavioral studies in mice

We're attempting to screen some mutant mice for sexual behavior, but 
can't get the females to be receptive.  We initially ovariectomize the 
females then treat them with estrogen and progesterone to induce 
receptivity. We've tried a variety of doses and none seem to work. Has 
anyone tried this or know about sexual behavior in mice?  There's a lot 
of information on rats, but it doesn't seem to carry over directly to 
mice. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
