Prekill both of them, scent the rat by rubbing the mouse all over it then put both prey items for the snake. See if that works.

The last one that I got him to eat I actually put in the small plastic carrier I keep the mice in while I wait for him to eat them. Since it had bedding in there that many mice had rollicked in I guess that made it so that the rat smelled like a mouse. I will definitely try scenting the rat with an freshly killed mouse though, that might work.
