    Babies are designed to eat so IMO it's likely a combination of husbandry issue (the animal's needs for security not met) and the fact that you want to feed f/t to an animal previously feeding on live.

    If you want to switch you want to do it with a consistent feeder which mean you want to feed the same prey than previously offered at least 5 times and if the animal is consistent and has a good body weight you want to start switching.

    Trying to switch a new animal to F/T while it is trying to adjust is rarely working, trying to switch an animal if you have husbandry issue will not work either.

    At two months old house the snake according to the link posted above and feed the same way 5 times, than try switching. Once the animal is 200 grams gradually upgrade the enclosure.

    Two months old are not mean to be in a
    large/wide exo terra enclosure
