Feeding issues? Advice please!

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if I could get some help. I have a three month old Cal King who had no problems eating frozen/thawed when I first got him (July 29). After his second shed ever (August 24), he stopped striking/constricting his food and would refuse the pinkie. We would brain the mouse, dip it in tuna juice, leave it in the cage etc. and he would eventually eat. His enclosure is at 80 degrees F (cold side) and 88 (warm side) consistently, and the humidity levels are correct, but could it be possible that he's going into brumation? I would just like to know why he no longer strikes, and if there's a way for him to be more comfortable accepting food easily again. Thanks!
