subject: Finches don`t like new bi

I have 2 male zebra finches. Previously, they bathed in one of the
large covered feeding cups that came with the cage (I use vertical
water/feeding tubes). It was a tight fit but they loved cleaning up in
it. Recently, I bought an actual cage-mountable bird bath. It is
similar to this one but not exactly the same (close enough for
comparison):

I have yet to see them go in it and I believe it's been a few weeks. I
can understand anything new may take some adjustment time, but it
seems they would have dared to go in my now. Ive tried placing millet
next to and IN it, to lure them and still nothing. One thing I did
think of was that the cup they used to use sat inside the cage. This
one sits outside the cage. Is it possible theyre simply unaware they
enter the bath?

If anyone has suggestions, I'd gladly appreciate them!
