I have caught them out during the day but generally it is in the evening or while we're heading to bed. They haven't been out much at all the last week so maybe that's a good indication that they're more settled.

I don't know how exactly they were being fed prior to us bringing them home. I've just been dropping them in and checking back in about an hour or so. I'll probably send a quick text to the breeder and ask. Would be a good place to start lol.
Even the snakes that have come to me only feeding live will take FT or pre killed, just takes a little finesse. Using tongs, try moving the rat around in a natural way and even wiggling it a little. This usually stimulates the feeding response. That coupled with the blow dryer trick and you should be good. Just remember to be careful to not accidentally hit the snakes nose while doing the "zombie dance" with the rat, this can detour them from wanting to feed.
