Are you keeping him warm enough? Are you trying rats that are too big. Balls, especially hatchlings sometimes like smaller items. Leave in an FT rat pink over night, if that doesn't work try a live one the next night. If that doesn't work try a small FT hoppy mouse, then a live one. See a pattern developing...

Last night i got a stubborn snake to eat by teasing it with a small live hoppy mouse until it struck- then i left it alone to finish the job

Good Luck
Brett
