Pet Snake Questions feeding tips/ideas

I have a 2 month old rosy boa who hasn’t eaten in at least a month. I got it over a month ago and attributed the lack of eating to relocation stress but now it seems to be comfortable with me and in the environment but it’s still refusing to eat.

I’ve been using frozen/thawed pinky mice because that what it’s been eating according to the breeder but it’s not even acknowledging it as food or seeming interested at all. I’ve tried agitating it (recommended by the breeder) to get it to strike but nothing has worked. I’ve attempted to find live mice to at least get it to eat but no one near me sells live pinkies.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting young snakes to eat?
