Attaching one type of feeder to another like you've been doing to switch a picky eater does work. I converted an adult female retic from jumbo rats (8-10 per meal is $$$!!) to rabbits that way.

Another option besides rats is rabbits, if you can find a local breeder willing to save the stillborn kits for you to at least try. Rabbit kits are small and might tempt him into eating if he's turning his nose up at rats.
Thanks! I will check my local Craigslist for rabbit breeders; kits would be a nice option. Keeping my fingers crossed that the attachment method helps get him onto a normal feeding routine. I am going to keep him on a weekly schedule (assuming he eats like this) for maybe a month just to get his nutritional status stabilized a bit, then shift him to a regular Boa feeding schedule.

I shudder at the thought of 8-10 jumbo rats per meal. That's an expensive retic, lol
