Are you assist feeding every week? If so that is way to often and way to close together. Also the only reason to assist feed is if the animal has lost a considerable amount of weight. The reason for that is because it is extremely stressful for the animal to be assist fed. If it comes to the point of assist feeding it should only be done once and then the snake should be left alone for 2 weeks and then try normal feeding again. What methods are you using for feeding? Are you just dropping the live pinky in and leaving it alone over night or are you taking it out of its cage and moving it somewhere else and trying to feed there? If you are using a separate container to feed I would suggest leaving it in its own enclosure to feed. Also with the age of the snake it should really be on crawler rats and not pinkys.
