Do you mean you tried feeding 3 at the same meal time? If so then it does seem that it is time to move up to fuzzies. Feedin 3 prey at a time isn't really a good idea.

You should only need to feed 2 pinkies for a few weeks - once definitely OK it's time to move up to fuzzies. As above, you shouldn't feed 3 separate items.

can you tell us more about his home,

the temperatures hot and cold,
do you use a digital thermometer,
how do you heat - a mat or bulb,
do you have a thermostat to control temperatures.
How often are you offering food.

If you can answer these questions we may be able to offer more advice

what are your temperatures in the hot end? How old is your corn? When was the last time your snake eat and when did you last try to feed but it wouldnt eat? Also what did you try feeding it?

Also i'd advise against sawdust, could cause breathing problems. Kitchen roll, Newspaper or even better Aspen is perfect.
