Help..

I have a ball python that was dropped off a few months ago (just a baby, CH) and was in very rough shape. It had scale rot under a layer of improperly shed skin and had retained eyecaps. All of this is cleared up, but my problem is that I can't get it to eat regularly for me. It will feed occasionally on fuzzy mice and has taken maybe 2 rat pinkies. The first few mice I force fed it with no problems, but the rats I have are a little large. I have tried leaving the rat under snakes hide with success once in awhile, squeezing some guts out so the snake can get a better smell and some other obvious attempts. It was feeding better when I had it temporarily in a rubbermaid container with a hide, water bowl and paper towel, I have it now in a 24" neodesha cage, could switching back to the rubbermaid help??
