Feeding problem

I have seen this topic over and over and over again,but I am going to ask again.How do I get my baby Ball to eat? I've had it since late april or early may and it has only ate once,around the 2nd week I had it.The snake is around 15 inches long.It hasn't lost any weight yet so that is good.It does drink alot though.I did have a heating problem where my ball wouldn't go on the hot side.I have now fixed that.The hot side is 90-92 degrees and the cold side is around 78-80 degrees.And it is in a 20 long.I also took it to a guy that knows alot about ball pythons and has over 40 of them,and he said it was a very healthy snake.Anyway,I use frozen mice if that helps.Anyway I have tried every method I have seen for feeding.I have tried a seperate container,paper bag,in front of the hide,inside a paper towel roll,placed numerous places throughout the tank,I just can't get it to eat.It does play with it from time to time.I have tried pinkies which dosent even intrest the snake,fuzzies which is the only thing it has ate,and adult mice.I have tried feeding it at all times of the day and night,lights on and off.It just will not eat.What else can I do?
