Will a corn snake go from eating live mice to eating frozen mice?
Yes, but it will take some persistence. Frozen mice should be warmed using a heat lamp or warm water until they are above room temperature, so that the snake can see them (they see using heat sensitive vision), and then you can use hemostats (kind of like giant tweezers) to wiggle the mouse in front of the snake so that it appears to be alive.

its a big job taking care of pinkies but it is possible
First, you need to keep the mice warm. Get a box that fits the mice; if there's seven, get a nice snuggly shoe box. If there is one or two, get a baby wipe box.
Step 2
Take a couple of socks, and fill them with rice. Mice, rice; get it? Keep the sock flat so they can sleep on it comfortably. Microwave it for one or 2 minutes, until it's very warm to the touch. Put it in the box and put the soft flannel material over it.
Step 3
Buy puppy or kitten formula or make your own by mixing an egg yolk with a little bit of milk and blending it very well. Put it in a bottle and let it warm in a bowl of steaming water. The formula should be warm to the touch.
Step 4
Warm the dropper so it's not cold. Gently place it between the lips of the animal and drop.
