You can try the usual tricks of scenting with a rabbit. Rub the bag the rabbit came in all over the GP or just try scenting with the rabbit itself. This "prey item" discussion came up last night on web radio show that a Burm Junkie might listen to... Some snakes just won't eat certain things. I have several burms that only eat poultry and they thrive on that diet...so that's what they get. Sometimes you just can't make them eat something that they don't want. Sometimes, they magically go back to eating rabbits or rats or whatever when they're ready for a change. I guess the jist of all this is...try your best to scent but if it doesn't work, then it just doesn't work and deal with it.
