Yeah, you can try a red one, or even a slightly smaller black one.
Also try something other than peanut butter. Or even try only buscuits or kibble at first, something that falls right out.
Then start to add a little pasty stuff. Since he doesn't seem too interested in PB in the kong, try some cream cheese, cheese in a can, left over mashed potatos, pudding, yogurt, let your imagination go wild with the kong, I do & I find new "recipes" almost every day. lol Maybe even add a few pices of fruit to the pudding or yogurt, or some left over meat chunks in the mashed potatos, some tasty bagel pieces with the cream cheese, some veggies with the cheese in a can or whatever else you may think of.


If you don't want to donate his old kong to a shelter or whatever try running a piece of rope through it, tie a knot in both ends, and viola a play kong rope toy.
