    well do you mind describing the set up you have? most of the time going of feed is a result of husbandry issues.

    They're each in a 20 long? That seems kind of big for a baby.

    a 20 gal is a bit too big, if you don't have any other enclosure you can try balling up some newspapers and throw them in there to make them feel more secure.

    Judging from prior threads you started, your husbandry is way off. Just based on other posts your enclosure seems too big and you house two snakes in one enclosure. Do you know what the temps are in your enclosure? You should really check out the caresheet to work on your husbandry. This might be why two of your snakes aren't eating.

    it's no big deal if they eat live, if they won't take f/t, then by all means feed live just watch the feeding to make sure the mouse isn't biting your snakes.
