Then after 3 weeks offer a comparably sized rat. If he doesn't take the rat, wait another week and try a rat again. If he still refuses, let him have his mice for 3 feedings, then try again.

I successfully converted a few snakes this way. And a few still get their mice every week. I wish you all the best.

Thanks for getting back to me, I've never dealt with this before. I will definitely give this a try (and feed him his mice as soon as I get home).
