Unhappy Bp Won't Eat

My bp looks in healthy condition and is quite active, but he refuses to eat. Almost 2 months ago, I bought some mice to feed him and he didn't eat them. There have been times where I'd just leave the mice and he'd eat them in a couple days, so that's what I did, but he never ate them and then went into shedding. I was fed up with the mice and just decided to leave them until he shed, and he shed normally, ate one of the mice and left the second one. He never ate the second one, so I returned it to the store. Since then he will no longer eat a mouse. I feed him live mice. I fed him live rats a couple times and he ate them a couple times but then he wouldn't eat a fairly large rat, and since then won't go near a rat. My snake seems very picky doesn't he?.. Also, he doesn't like to eat thawed mice, or never used to. So what should I do?.. I don't have a clue. I know bps can last a fairly long time without eating so I'm not in a panic yet, but just need suggestions as I have no clue what to do next. I was thinking about trying to give him a gerbel, but I heard that they can get addicted to those, and that would suck since gerbel's are expensive. Please don't be mad, I'm still learning! By the way, my BP is almost 3 years old, and 3.5-4 feet long. Thanks for your help!
