My Eugene refuses any and all mice in my care (he ate mice for his previous owner) but will eat quail and rats. And my snake Ratbait had a rodent aversion from years of being feed live rats while blind. If he smelled them he would jerk and flee. But he would take quail and time, scenting, and patience got him on f/t rats after 18 months.

nobody mentioned "aversion."
I have an aversion to Liver, but I'm not afraid of it.
The original post stated their corn snake was afraid of mice. That's just silly. Especially since the snake has eaten before.
Take the entire post, the fact the snake won't eat, noticeable loss of weight. This is not a fear of mice, there is something wrong. I simply stated take the snake to a vet. That's what I would do.
