I have been breeding boas for about 10 years now and I can only remember a couple of babies that didnt feed on frozen thawed pink rats. Some take longer than others to feed depending on how much yolk they had to absorb or how large their bellies were at birth. Not all will feed after the 10 day shed right away. Some may take a month or two but I cant remember but one time ever having a real problem with any of my baby boas. I usually just wait them out and it usually pays off. Just give them a hide spot make them feel comfortable they ALWAYS come around. Now ball pythons on the other hand. Thats another story all together lol. The only thing that makes me upset is when you have tons of babies and about 20 or so dont eat right away so every week you waste 20 pink rats until they feed. But eventually they will.
