had a similar experience with neonate copperfellas. They couldn't take full pinkies so I forced just legs, tails and crushed skulls. They would try to spit them out, but if I got the item just beyond the seam of their mouths they would swallow them. ave you tried to get ahold of a pinkie pump?
Another major concern is hydration. If you leave those snakes for a time, they may be dried and shriveled within a week, regardless as to whether or not they have a meal in them. Just as MSTT stated, if you could ship them, I'd be glad to get them started, I'm in central PA.
One more thing, DO NOT release them into the wild. They will probably die anyway and there is always th concern of releasing pathogens along with them. That could spell disaster for wild populations.
Good luck
