Where did you rescue him from??

If he's not used to eating f/t he may only eat live...

[ZKing]

ok i will try that but i am afraid that they might hurt him

It is how nature intended it. It's better for the snake to eat live than the snake to eat nothing.

Just make sure you supervise.

What is your setup like? Please read the BP caresheet to make sure your new guy feels secure and comfortable. How long have you had him, and how long since he last ate? How often are you offering?

Temps are a big cause of refusals security is the second. Husbandry issues should be checked first. The next question is how heavy is it?

give him something small, and live. make sure your temperatures are good.
