I would say go for live feeders to get them started. Live rat pinks or pups to be exact. They couldn't possibly do any damage to the snake and they'll most likely take them. I got 26 CH balls and 24 are taking rat pups and have never missed a meal. I have two feeding on mouse fuzzies that will be switched over soon hopefully. If they never eat anything but rats you'll be thanking yourself down the road. Try getting a female up to breeding size on crickets. :D
