This was my snake's first feeding in his new cage and he is refusing to eat. Has never refused a meal before but the last 3 or 4 have been successively harder to get him to take the rat. Tonight he all out refuses (yes temps and humidty is fine).

I thaw a 90g rat in water for an hour then heat it up with a hair dryer on each side till its about 100 degrees. Tried for about 30 minutes to get him to take it. Then just left it there ontop of his hide for another hour. Has it been out too long to refreeze and I should pitch it? I've seen posts before saying this was OK to do once, but I'm not sure the threshold for how long being out is too long. It has been sitting in 50% humidity at 80+ degrees for over an hour now.
