Two metal plates with a small gap between that the rodent has to cross to reach the bait. I had thought the first victim might have damaged the innards, but I'm getting a reading of nearly 2000V.

Being pedantic it is not the amount of volts that kills the mouse but the amount of current going through its body. Does not answer your question. Can you wet the plates so as to improve the conductivity when the mouse goes through the gap?
