Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Check your husbandry - if he doesn't have an appropriate hot spot or he's not humid enough in his new enclosure he won't eat. Also feed in the enclosure, don't use a separate one, as moving them can cause stress and throw them off food.

Why would buying a bigger enclosure get him to eat?
Usually BPs like small tight spaces.
Could the mice be too large?
Also everything Melinda said

Try leaving the frozen thaw in over night.

Even when they show no interest in frozen thaw (whether you wiggle it around, bump them with it etc) if you leave the feeder in for them they will occasionally eat it. One of my current frozen thaw eaters would go into defensive mode if I tried to get him to take it from tongs, but leaving it for him and checking on him in the morning he would eat it. Now he takes them readily from tongs.
