First off, check your temps. I think sometimes Albinos have a harder time absorbing heat and need to be kept a few degrees warmer.

Were they born with larger bellies? Those with larger yolk bellies can live off that for quite some time.

I had a stupid baby Brazilian Rainbow Boa a few years back that refused to eat. After FOUR months, I force fed it and eventually it figured out how to eat on it's own. Point being they can go a loooong time without food. That baby was not looking bad, just never grew.

I find the best response for my baby boas is a live mouse, I prefer a bit smaller than hopper to avoid teeth. That way you can leave in the cage for a while and not worry about the prey becoming the predator.

Clean the tub one day and cover the front with a piece of newspaper, not to totally block light but to block it from seeing motion outside the tub. The following evening, remove the water bowl and put in the mouse crawler, big fat one if you can get it and leave them alone for a few hours.


Another thing you could try is give the baby a hide, toss in a toilet paper roll or something else they can "hide" in.
