I would say to go back to the medium size mouse. In the wild, BP's don't eat on a schedule such as a medium mouse every tuesday at 5:00pm. Also reptiles have very slow metabolisms which means they tend to digest thier food very slow. When I worked in the pet shop years ago we made it a point not to feed our reptiles on the same day and same time we would always vary it slightly. BP, I have found, are very picky eaters too. The last BP I had, sometimes you could offer her a small rat every two weeks or so and sometimes she would eat it, sometimes she refused. Sometimes she wasn't in the mood to kill her prey, but as soon as I euthanised the rat and then offered it to her right away she was willing to take it. What I'm saying here is sometimes it's trial and error. Hope that helps.
