Hi, Jay! Glad to see that you're doing your research. My first comment is that you should really never have to feed your corn rats. Mice are fine, regardless of the snake size. You might have to increase the size of your mice, and you can find larger ones online for much less than in the pet stores.
As far as converting him over to f/t...that can be tricky. How are you thawing the frozen? Some put them in a cup of warm water directly. Others thaw them in a baggie so the mouse stays relatively dry. MAYBE it would help to try a fresh killed and see if that works. There are a lot of tricks available, so you might have to work it out a while to see what's right for him. Also, how long are you going between feeds? If he's that big, he can go a pretty long while before needing to feed again, so you might want to try to make sure he's REALLY hungry. I have snakes that have gone months without eating, and they're perfectly fine, so don't feel like he'll die of starvation if you hold out longer than you normally would.
