Noob here...

I'm in the same pickle. My youngun refused a F/T pinkie the week after I got him, then took a F/T pinkie the next week.

One week later I tried a F/T hopper (which is actually the right size for him) and he refused. I threw the mouse out. Tried again the following day, and he refused again. This coming Saturday will be two weeks since he last ate, and I'll try another F/T hopper.

(By the way, 'refused' means he didn't eat it for the 12 hours it was in his enclosure.)

If he doesn't eat again this week, I'll wait one more week.

I have to go along with the get more snakes one. One of the biggest reasons I have more than 1! I will refreeze a refused rat or mouse ONE time and one time only. So far I haven't had to throw any away. I also will skip the refrozen rat if I'm unsure the snake is going to eat. That way if he refuses again, I don't have to throw it away.
