If they don't eat, wait 5-7 days before offering food again. If you offer food to much to a baby that is not interested, you will stress it. Make sure they all have a nice, tight hide spot to make them feel secure. And as others have mentioned, offering a small mouse isn't a bad thing. I start all my balls on mice, and I have never had an issue converting them to rats. At 2 weeks old, they should be fine having not eaten yet, since they probably just shed a few days ago. Last year I had a baby albino that went to almost 2 months of age before taking her first meal. It was frustrating and stressful, but she ate when she was ready.
