Try feeding live pinky or fuzzy mice if you are not already. Sometimes I have found if you wash the pinky with plain water that removes some of the odor which for some reason picky eaters sometimes dont like. Also make sure you have hide boxes that are not to large so the animal will feel secure, I have an adult male that will not eat anything unless he is in his hide box. If the snake still refuses try to get the smallest rat pinky you can find, just remember that when he/she starts to eat on its own do not try to pump him up take it slow for at least ten feedings. A very slight bulge at best until he shows weight gain. Hope this helps.
