At those weights a winter fast should not hurt them. If one of them is looking thin after just a few months it might be time to get that one to a vet. Other than that, ratstar is correct, if they have been on live AND you are worried about weight loss, this is not the time to switch. Keep trying them on live but space out offerings to every other week and leave them alone for a day or two before feedings. I have one snake that absolutely will not eat unless she has been left alone for a couple of days.
