    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.

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