Greetings Adam... First off, you've been following this forum for a year and have still decided to join... have you read the recent "Settle this argument(Cannelbalism)" post? 
All right seriously now... without having more info it's really difficult to answer your question... what size were the snakes at hatching... when you say "they've fed steadily every week" are you saying you only feed them once a week and if so exactly how much are you feeding them? All too often a schedule of a single pinkie/fuzzy every week is viewed as normal... it isn't. Every three days tops for little guys would be better imo.
You're going to receive lots of opinions regarding this matter but, again imo, the best thing you can do is obverse your snakes feeding response... offer a food item every three days... if the snake attacks with gusto then try feeding every two days or offer more that one item at the three day interval... if however the snakes seem to be disinterested in feeding only offer food items every four days. Every snake is going to be different, only you can judge what is going to be enough.
To offer some peace of mind for you at this stage... if they are feeding then you are doing well and you have nothing to worry about at this point... just up the once a week feeding if that is what you're doing and pay attention.
Best of luck to you!
Gerry
