Picky baby albino gopher

Is it possible for a snake to prefer a certain brand of frozen rodent?
I only had frozen rodents for my adults, so while waiting on my order to arrive I bought a few from Petco. He ate them easily. Now with the new ones I had bought from my usual supplier he has no interest. It has been 2 1/2 weeks since he has eaten. He is 4 months old.

I switched suppliers for my feeders and one of my snakes went off feed for a few weeks. I kept offering food every 7 days and he eventually ate. Hunger always wins in the end .
