Hope you get the baby eating shortly. I would try gerbil or asf (african soft furred rats). If one still refuses to eat try force feeding but please use this method as a last option as it stresses the snake itself. what you would so is thaw or pre kill the mouse and hold the snakes body between your arm and ribs and hold its head with your fingers so it can't back out and gently move the mouses head in and force its mouth till you get the grip respond and then it should be eating normally after that. good luck

Rich
