How long did you keep the pre-killed mouse in the cage? Mine will not eat live anymore so I will throw 2 prekilled in his cage and leave them in overnite and in the morning they are always gone. Hope this helps, good luck.
i left it in there over night and took it out in the morning
Alright let's start with basics what is your temps and humidity? Have you been handling your Dum. alot? Your substrate looks good how about hides how many, what kind? I'll show you a pic of my setup.

My temp is 85 and my humidity is 58. He always stays on the hot side. I havent handled him yet due to the fact he hasnt eaten. he defecated about 3 days ago when he got done shedding. He has a total of 2 hides that he did use when he was in shed mode. but know he just burrows him self.
The humidity seems alittle low but should be fine. How was his shed?
His shed went great, i was able to watch it from begining to end, old skin came off in one piece as well as the eye caps
Is the cage in a high noise area? Alot of people around or something? If not keep trying every week snakes have a mind of their own and will eat when they are ready.
its in the living room but no one goes in there unless we have a family gathering but we havent had any gathering since i got him.
