After you check the temps and figure out the weight, consider getting some b-vitamin supplements. I also work in a pet store, as well as a large scale reptile facility and here is the procedure I go through for Baby Balls that won't eat.
1. If they are living on the sales floor with the other ball pythons, immediately take them away, put them alone in a basic set up with heat, hide log, water bowl, and jack up the humidity a bit.
90% of the time, they will eat a fuzzy mouse or a pink rat within a week of that.
2. If it still has not resumed feeding, I begin giving it 3 drops of b-vitamins every day, and offer food every 3 days.
3. Still not eating, I offer them a fuzzy gerbil, sometimes they just can't resist.
4. At this point, while still continuing on the b-vitamin regime, if they have not eaten, I force feed them a pink rat.

If you do try force feeding, do not use mice, I have seen the lower jaw of a mouse splinter during force feeding and puncture straight through the neck of a baby ball python.

Good luck with the little guy, hope everything works out.
