He's been feeding fine so far.
He refused yesterday and today?

He moved up to Mini fuzzies but ate the last.
Shall I try him on 2-3 pinkies until he's ready?

I'd wait 4 days before trying again, he may be stressed out from the attempted force feed or about to go into shed. As long as the food isn't more that 1.5 the width of the snake it's a fine size, pinkies are quite fatty so i would personally advise staying on the fuzzies to get a bit more substance.

He took a really small fuzzy so that might be it.
He just took a pinky, I'll try no.2 in a bit.

Don't force feed, not sure if you saw all the responses yesterday before they disappeared but snakes can go for a long time without food.

I didn't. I didn't want to harm him.
He took the pinky fine, I've left a 2nd just incase.
