    He weighs around 400grams from what the vet told me he is not sure on the age but the vet thought he was around 3 years old and he is 3 and a half feet long

    Post a picture with something to use for scale. IE a ruler or measuring tape.

    Hi,

    I'd just give him multiple Hoppers or perhaps try a different rodent - rats instead of mice for example.

    But as long as he is willing to eat I wouldn't stress too much about what his choices are just yet. :)
