So I have successfully gotten 5 or the 12 babies from my litter eating... everyone has the same conditions, but for some reason 7 of these babies just WILL NOT eat!

They are all finishing up their second shed, and as of this weekend they will be 5 weeks old. It's just really, really frustrating me! I've tried live rat pinkies, live mouse fuzzies, f/t rat pinkies and mouse fuzzies... I've brained them, done the 'overnight bag' trick (that works 99% of the time for my colubrids), and I'm just about ready to force-feed rat pinkie heads at this point, to see if I can 'jump start' their feeding responses...

Do any of you have any suggestions you can offer me?
