I may try the filling his cage portion on my really hard stubborn one. I like that suggestion.
Re: problem feeder, I no normal for BP
I thought I would also add to make sure you leave him alone when you feed him. If you offer f/t and that's what he's been eating leave it in there overnight. Some of mine won't eat f/t right away and I have to leave it in. Last time I checked on the girls too soon, an hour later, and they went back to ignoring the f/t rat. I went to bed, checked on them at 2am and magic! Gone! I've also had to leave a live mouse in with my male that stopped eating for two months. He was interested but scared??? So I left him be for an hour and he ate it. If the live animal is fed/watered well you shouldn't have a problem with it trying to eat your snake in an hour. Definitely don't leave it overnight, or more than an hour IMO!
Re: problem feeder, I no normal for BP
I would give the snake a hide or two. Just because all of your other ones are fine with no hides doesn't mean that they are all fine with no hides.
