Hi tried that mouse first, then rat but he still won't eat it, he strikes at it raps around it then just lets go, so annoying.

For a long time I had to give Savina a mouse first, fairly small one for her - once she ate that she'd normally go for the rat afterwards but never before.

Could try defrosting the rat in tub with mouse lol got my royal feeding again then you have an excuse to get another snake to eat the mouse so it don't get wasted :)

I know exactly how frustrating this is! My Floyd won't show any interest in rats! He's now around 600g, have to feed him multiple mice, as one isn't nearly enough!
