Could you try fuzzies for the non-eaters instead? I am aware that fuzzies are not technically enough food for growth, but I have had quicker and less fuss getting shy hatchlings started using live fuzzies for 2-3 feedings and then switching up to hoppers once the snake's appetite kicks in. I have found this works better than having a snake cower and defensively strike at a larger mouse and then have to take the longer more worrying path of still not eating and losing weight.
We can try that too. I'm not involved with the live feeding so I will have her do it. Thanks for the advice.
