Some take the transition with no problem then some can be problematic and some will never take it. While I get that you really don't want to feed live, you need to get him established. The reason he's most likely coiling and not eating it is most likely due to the size. Try something a bit smaller to see if that helps. Then if he doesn't do that, offer him something live but still small like a mouse hopper.
