If you move it to a new cage where it feels unsecure it will almost certainly not eat, unless its a great feeder.



I would also get a bigger sized rodent than a pinky mouse. A fuzzy or maybe a hopper would be best. I would still try a frozen one that has been thawed in hot water (not boiling). Make sure the mouse feels kinda warm, and then just place it in front of the snakes hide box in the regular tank. I would let it finish its shed cycle first though which will also give it time to relax in its new home.



Also don't worry about watching it eat as your presence may actually be a hinderance. Just put the mouse in the cage during the evening when it is darker and walk away for a few hours. You can check back later and hopefully the mouse will be gone.



Sometimes you do need to try many different tricks to get them to eat, but hopefully all he wants is some peace and quiet.
