If I were you I'd just feed them live for the time being - until they are back on an established feeding pattern. They could possibly be on winter fast already so you may have to try switching them next spring - right now the important thing to do is to get them to feed if they will.

Try feeding them once a week do not leave the feeder in with the snake for more than 10-15 minutes you don't want to stress them out if they don't seem interested then pull the feeder out sooner. If they dont show any interest in feeding after several weeks - then they are most likely on a winter fast and you can try feeding them ever 2-3 weeks.

Once they get an established feeding schedule you can try switching them to f/t - I think I've already given you the steps that I use. Keep in mind that this is something you have to train them to do - it will require a little work on your part upfront - and there is a possiblity that they won't switch or it will take a long time. Most switch pretty readily but I have two girls that just switched after 2 years of work and one of them isn't fully converted.
