Force feeding any size prey is a no-go for me too. Same for pinky-plungers, they can stick & be dangerous to the snake when they forcefully 'let go', also have
to be concerned about bone fragments, or so I've read?

If you ever do need to stimulate the appetite of a snake, I'll be happy to give you tips on the correct way to gently tube-feed liquid food to a snake. Think of
it like the IV of nutrition that a human gets in the hospital: without that energy, they remain in a downward spiral, feeling too poorly to eat, & won't recover.

But we cannot give an IV to a snake....the next best thing is a tube-feed. (I only use Gerber's 2nd stage chicken & gravy baby food, many other products that
seem similar have sugar or corn syrup & other unnatural things for snakes. I've pulled many snakes through over the years using this method.)
