Gotcha.. In my experience, I haven't had one go over 2 weeks IF it was on feed from the breeder.. I however, replicate it's former environment nearly 100% until the snake has good size... I don't like throwing hides at them right away (i use a rack system) because it tends to be like a pacifier to them.. With that being said I do have and have had picky ones that will get hides as well and that has normally fixed the problem of a missed feed.. I don't think you will have to worry as long you didn't change their environment dramatically... They have been eating already..
