Hi -

I had to look up the word "vitellus". But I agree. That doesn't sound like a good plan for feeding your sand boas.

Yours would be able to eat tiny pinkie mice if they wanted to. While you're trying different things to convince them to feed, if you are afraid that they are loosing too much weight, just insert cut mouse tails into the back of the boas' mouths. They are the perfect shape. The snakes' feeding response will take over and they will swallow the tails voluntarily.

That at least gets some nutrition in them. You could even coat the tails with vitellus if you wanted to.
