Has anyone had issues with this? They seem like they want to eat, but when I offer the f/t they don't ALWAYS want it. BUT!!! I guarentee if it was live they would take it. I'm wondering if I should feed them a live just to trick them, so the next time they will think its a live right off the bat. I don't know what to do, and I don't want to start ordering mass quanaties of f/t's if there not going to take them.
I have a couple that get a little picky. What solved everything for me was temperature. I got this from another thread. Make sure they are really warm when you feed. I would have 4-5 in a cup that thawed, and it would seem when I was getting to the 4 or 5th it would be refused (usually the same snake because I feed in a certain order). Now before I present the F/T I have an extremely hot cup of water from the faucet that I put the mouse in for a couple seconds and present it. Usually it gets taken right away, if it doesn't I heat it up again.

Since using this method I have not had any refused. Hope it helps!
