Rat pups are probably way too big for him right now. I'd go with mouse fuzzies. When assist feeding you want to put the mouse's head as far into his mouth as possible, close the snake's mouth over it, and pull back on the mouse's tail. The idea is to get the mouse stuck in his teeth so the only option he has is to swallow it. It's stressful, but at this point it's necessary. I have a little guy that still needs to be assist fed. Hopefully he'll come around soon.
