If I reead that correctly, he ate a fuzzy last week but won't eat a pink now, correct?

If so, the first thing I would suggest trying is to give him another fuzzy. Something about the hair oftenwets the appetite of young snakes. I've had many snakes that required scenting of pinks, but would take slightly haired fuzzies (peach fuzzies) without scenting as soon as they were big enough for that meal.

Others would take pinks without ever taking fuzzies. It's not impossible for a snake to eat pinks, get a fuzzy, and never eat a pink again because it "liked" the fuzzy.

Hopefully, that easy solution will prevent any problems for you. Good Luck trying it! Besides, skipping a meal for one week is not unusual.
