Baby Corn Not Feeding

Hi...I am new to cornsnake care and you have probably seen this many times before. I purchased a baby corn from a chain pet store where they fed it crickets (doesn't seem to be it's natural food) but I was able to soon after feed it 1 pinkie. That was in early Sept and since then it has only eaten 3 more. It has regurgitated about 4 others and frequently refuses food. I have had to toss maybe 4 or 5 pinkies it wouldn't take. Last feeding was almost 2 weeks ago and I'm worried for the little snake. I have tried chicken scenting and "braining" and when presented with the pinkie (with long tongs) it acts scared of it and will actively avoid the mouse and even try to burrow in the bedding to get away. I don't want to keep wasting pinkies but I don't want it to starve either. I didn't think this was normal so I wanted to present this to others who have more experience. What should I do or is it actually normal? Thanks in advance.
 
First, check you the temps in the enclosure. Temps too low or too high can lead to refusals or regurges.
How often are you offering food?
Are you familiar with the regurge protocol, and have you followed it after a regurge?
