Creamsicle Corn Snake wont eat

I have a 2 and a half year old creamsicle. His name is Nacho. He have been feeding him live mice for about a year now. Recently, the local pet store didn't have live feeder mice. They sold me an African Soft Fur Rat instead for the same price. It was the same size as the adult feeder mice, so I figured it'd be okay. Well, Nacho refused to eat the rat. I tried on 3 separate occasions and I've also offered him frozen feeder mice. He just won't eat. Today, after about 2 months the pet store finally had feeder mice. I bought one and brought it back to feed Nacho. He hunted the mouse for a good 10 minutes and then went back to his basking rock. At this point, I'm concerned. The pet store didn't have any advice for me and I'm worried about my little buddy. Would anyone be willing to give me advice? Also, please don't be too harsh if I've done something wrong. Research on the internet brings up a lot of very conflicting information and ultimately seems unhelpful. Thanks in advance! -Shawn
 
Few things you can try:

Check your temperature. Maybe your thermostate is broken.
Try to warm up your mouse with a hairdryer , wiggle it in front of him.
If he refuses try putting the mouse in the cage / terrarium before you go to bed. Many of my corns will eat like this.

Hope this helps
