In my experience, lethargic, not moving much mice or rats die soon. If none of your snakes will eat it, you might want to find another way to euthanize it.

Another possibility is to take it back to the store and demand your money back.
Probably not going to go over well with the store.

I'd just whack, toss it and find a new supplier.

If they look that bad in the store who knows what they look like at the breeders. This can go either way though, they may be good from the breeder and get sick at the store. Or not.

Still, I know there are folks out your way that breed. Check with Mike at Isis Reptiles. I think he's still breeding rodents. Some damn fine snakes too, though not any balls that I know of.
