Last night and today my male corn refused food. He is 3 years old on newspaper and eats fuzzies. Any suggestions?

wait a week and try again.

It will be more helpful if you give better details..as in, when was the last time he ate?

why is he still on fuzzies at 3 years old?

It hasn't even been a week since the last feeding. Give it a little longer.

A three year old corn snake should be about three feet long and feeding on adult mice, not fuzzies.

My male corn has gone off feed as well. He will take live readily enough but he won't take frozen anymore. Sometimes they get picky when they are more worried about girls than food. You can feed him fuzzies at his age but just be sure to feed him more to compensate. As far as him not eating, also check your temps. If he is not warm enough or too warm he wont eat.
