Some of my carpets slow down their feeding this time of year, even when they're young, so that could have something to do with it.

How often do you attempt feeding? Some of the best advice I've gotten when dealing w/ snakes that won't eat is "...then don't feed them". It's worked for me in the past to stop offering food for a couple feedings. After not being offered food in a while and then suddenly having it again could ellicit a feeding response.
