You need to do the best for your snake. Part of that occasionally means feeding a live rodent to get them to eat. You are absolutely doing the right thing going to offer them what they were eating. Just keep an eye on them and never walk away until they have dispatched their food.
You'll do fine. I have a hard time killing a fly let alone a rodent but I would bash a head in if it meant keeping my snakes healthy.
