Snakes can go for months with out feed with out any problem. Actually in most cases this is only benefit for animal to have some periods with out feeding.
In nature pythons are lucky to get 3-4 feeds per year.

I had same problem with my coastal and I used cotton string to tie small mice to head of juvie rat. After few tricks like this, snake started to feed on rats no problem.
