My snake stopped eating after shedding, does it want baby rats?

Question

My snake suddenly stopped eating. Nothing changed when it was eating except the fact that it went through shed 4-5 days ago so I’m not sure why it’s not wasting since it’s been 2 weeks since it’s last meal. But one concer I have is that it wants baby rats now ? Because that’s what I fed it last time since the store had ran out of medium mice and I was in a rush.

If he can eat baby rats, feed him baby rats. Going off food before, during,or after a shed is normal. Confirm proper temperature and consider covering the cage or placing him in a pillowcase with prey at the next meal time. If he doesn't eat, wait 5-7 days then try again. Keep him hydrated and stress free in between feedings.
