Baby BP strikes, constricts, but drops frozen thawed.

I understand. I have some of the rat bedding that I actually used to try and scent the mouse tonight to make it smell like a rat. I would definitely prefer to feed only rats but I don't have any of them right now, only mice. I know, I made a mistake there and I'm kicking myself for it. I'll be able to get rats in a couple weeks. I'm just worried about him going without eating for long periods of time since he's still a baby. Will he be okay if he ends up not eating for a few weeks yet at his current size?

That's a good thing to try (scenting w/ used rat bedding). For a young snake, it's better they keep eating, but he should survive just fine if he misses a couple weeks. Maybe being hungrier will help him change his mind about mice. Many BPs prefer mice, but mostly it's just what they're most familiar with from the start.
