Serving a Ball a room temp rodent is not going to work usually.
I would thaw in water and then change the water using the hot water from the tap.
Then serve in the dark using long tweezers or tongs.
Take the feeder by a leg and make it dance for the snake.
If the snake grabs it still hold the feeder and give it some little pulls as if it is alive and the snake needs to kill it. This will get the snake more committed and in the mindset of eating.
Then leave it in the dark for a good while before coming back to check.
If it didn't eat I would give it a break for a few days as trying often will only add stress to you and the snake.

Re: Juvenile Ball Python won't eat.
I agree with the comment try not to get overwhelmed with too much info all you really need right now is a thermostat for your heat mat and time and patience to switch your BP to f/t

Re: Juvenile Ball Python won't eat.
Hello! Welcome to the BP community! I recently had a very similar problem with my young BP, she refused to eat for about 3 months. I checked, and was doing everything right, but she still wouldn't eat. I ended up buying a live, and after that night with the one live, she ate frozen consistently, so you could always try this! Some snakes are very particular about what temperature their rodent is too, I've noticed this a lot in my KSB. Good luck!
