Re: stubborn babys
Try some chicken broth. Worst case scenario you will have to switch from f/t to live.

Re: stubborn babys
If you haven't tried it yet, offer a live mouse hopper or a rat fuzzy if you can get them...

Re: stubborn babys
Ball pythons are nocturnal hunters. Feed it in the middle of the night while its more active. Try different rats and mice. After trying everything you can assist feed it. How young is this snake? Has it eaten before?
Assist feeding is sometimes needed for the odd hatchling that just doesn't understand.

Re: stubborn babys
Try placing the snake in a small paper bag with a rat pup or mouse. Try doing this at night.

Re: stubborn babys
Leave it alone for 2 weeks.
Seriously... you may be trying too hard to get it to eat and paying too much attention to it, leaving it scared out of it's head. My second set of snakes wouldnt eat for like 3 months after I got them, finally I just ignored them and kept trying 1 to 2 weeks later. They ultimately took.
