annoying feeding habbits!

ok, i have 4 BP's

now i have mainly 3 problematic ball pythons...

one was the fiercest killer i had ever seen!
one was just a good feeder.
and one was skiddish, but always eats.

now syler, my 09' male pastel 1000g

he hasn't eaten his normal size p/k rat since early november.
and now refuses live rats.
ok now its tuff love for him,
only f/t for him from now on cuz rats are expensive.
it doesn't help that his GF is in the same room.
and i know its just the season that he's off normal feed.
so i wont fret much on him.

scully, my 2010 female 350g bumble bee.

she's become totally irregular! used to eat one rat a week, same day, same time. p/k.

now she is totally random, eating when ever the mood strikes. so im switching her as well to f/t same as syler. TUFF LOVE FOR PASTEL GENE CARRIERS!
lol

now Gimme my 2010 male butter 250g

he is working on the switch to weaned rats.
and he's a very shy boy. hides at the sight of his own shadow.
but he eats his mouse/weaned rat every week. and mostly
he eats a weaned rat fridays, and a lg mouse on monday.

Now for Sookie! 1800g+ and a lovely normal.

ok she eats 6-7 lg mice a week. sometimes 4 on friday and 3-4 on sat.
which ever she decides. i only offer again on sat because i walk by
her tank and she strikes at the glass.
i toss in a lg mouse and its gone in a minute.

the problem feeders are scully the bee,
syler the big boy pastel.
and gimme's first strike out today.

mainly want to know if anyone can think of a way to get syler to eat a rat
aggressively again.
and scully to eat regularly.

BP's can be very frustrating.

You might try putting them on a 10 day feeding schedule. I can't guarantee it will work, but the few extra days between feedings might help...
