It will take him some time to get used to the rats. Maybe scenting them to smell more like a mouse would be good. As others have said before throughout this forum is that snakes will eat when they are hungry. The next time you feed buy yourself a rat that is the right size and a mouse. 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.
