Bill: I get in mangroves and they oddly feed great when you put them alone in a medium/large shoe box on newspaper with dead rodents in the cage at dusk and at night they wander over and eat. If you do this in the cage, they sometimes wont eat. Also, if you are housing them together, then they might not eat for a bit until you separate them for a couple weeks and their nerves settle as in groups straight from the wild, they get nervous and won't eat. Try to box method and if it does not work leave them in the box a couple or few days and offer food in a couple more days, but its worked here many times.
