Not to mention that the animal in this case when it was eating was eating mice so trying to switch is the last thing that needs to be done at this point it need to feed what it used to feed on and again mice are more enticing.

Do my snake prefer rats over mice? Yes they do but my snakes however are not the issue here.

I knew you would agrue, but this animal is obviously refusing the mice, even before the OP bought the BP. So obviously there is something wrong and it does not hurt to try something else... if the snake is simply not into mice, rats or ASFs are a good alternative.
