Snake won't eat

Hi guys, meet Pyro. He is a 3 year old, foot and a half long Rosy Boa. He is currently feeding on f/t fuzzy mice.

2 months ago I switched to f/t but before that he had eaten live his whole life. What concerns me is that he willingly ate f/t the first few times, but for the last few weeks he has refused f/t. He will flick his tongue at it but won't eat.

Nothing has changed environmentally or behavior wise, is he just not hungry? Is the prey too small? I have tried leaving the food for a few hours, dangling it, wiggling it, sometimes the food has blood on it from the other mice I thaw, nothing is working.

Here is a picture of the last time he was interested in a mouse. He later spit it out and hasn't eaten since.
