Some Balls just don't like rats. A lot of people will tell you that rats are better for ball pythons, because the python grows faster on a rat diet. They don't tell you that the supposed increase in growth rate assumes the ball will actually eat rats. While most balls will, devour rats, some will not. I would try two mouse fuzzies, or if the snake has enough girth one small adult mouse. See if this starts the feeding. If the snake starts feeding, you can just stick with mice. You may need to feed more than one, but your snake will be fine. It is a bit more expensive to feed two mice instead of one rat, but if your animal eats well for you, then piece of mind is worth it.
