You might try chicks, or if the snake isn't large enough yet, try scenting with chicken broth. I've bought unsalted chicken broth and actually heated the broth like I do water and defrosted the rodent in it. That may work. Mangrove's have the fastest metabolisms that I have ever experienced, and my dendrophila dendrophila has never refused a meal but will only eat when it is completely dark and completely alone. Not sure what your snake room is like but if there is visible movement or noise that may be the problem. I have also noticed that they stress far easier than my other snakes, and if they don't have a proper hide, or feel insecure they may not eat. I would address that if it could be a problem. Good luck, Eric-
