I didn't read all the way through this thread cause I'm a little buzzed up right now but I've noticed that with any snake, moving to a different enclosure can cause them not to eat for a bit. Also, you shouldn't hold your snake for a good 24-48hrs after you feed it.

Little balls tend to struggle with f/t. Starting them off with live and then gradually switching them over works best. I would toss a rat pup in and leave it alone for about an hour and if it doesnt take it, try again the next day. I have a mojave that finally after 8 months will take food from my hand. He would only eat in private after being with the prey for some time. Hopefully I didn't repeat anything but I just got home from the bar and my attention span is much shorter than usual
