I feed all mine in their vivs and put piece of card in front of their hides . My Royals all strike from within their hides so I dangle the mouse in front of the hide entrance

Defrost the mouse / rat and then quickly offer the mouse using tongs .
Waggle the mouse in front of the hide entrance , if there is no response ....heat the mouse with a hairdryer for ten second and quickly offer again , repeat this procedure until it takes the mouse /rat .
This method rarely if ever works providing the snake isn't in shed and even then some of my Royals still take the meal .

Thank you!! I tried feeding him in front of his hide last night but he showed little interest and wouldn't strike.....occasionally i'd accidentally boop his nose when trying to dangle the mouse and he'd flinch and withdraw my poor baby haha
