Pika provides some time out issue when connecting different hosts.Solution is to pass a socket_timeout argument in connection parameter.Pika should upgrade to >=0.9.14

credentials = pika.PlainCredentials(RABBITMQ_USER, RABBITMQ_PASS)
connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(
    credentials=credentials,
        host=RABBITMQ_HOST,
         socket_timeout=300))
channel = connection.channel()
