If he has already eaten two weaners he will be fine. Just keep trying they can be fussy sometimes.

Just persist with the weaners. If he continues to refuse them, try rubbing some pinky blood on them.

I would try some brained fuzzy or weaner rats. Fresh killed is always better too IMO.
Although if you have only been feeding it pinky mice it may not be big enough to eat weaner rats yet.

you could always start with a pinkie then offer a weaner afterwards, this should work, eventually you should be able to just offer weaners.
cheers Matt
