I agree with everyone on here about relaxing. Some of mine also go several months without eating. I also have some additional input. Make sure your heat is up to at least 90 F 24 hours a day on the hot side. Wait at least a week in between feeding attempts (write it down on you calendar if you have to). That way you will stress less about it and so will your snake. Step 2, if you have no knowledge of what the snake was eating before, go with the sure thing. If you can get gerbils for a reasonable price, go for it, if not try hamsters, you can always try to switch him back to mice or rats later. If you don't want to do that, at least try putting some used gerbil bedding from a local pet store in the tank when you try to feed him. It really does help stimulate an appetite. This is the time of year they usually start eating again, so be patient and just when you are about to give up...it will happen.
