Have not had any BCI or BCC yet but have had many BRB's and they are typically voracious eaters. Many have eaten within two days of birth. But there are usually the slackers that don't seem to want to eat. I have had several go more than a month, a few even past two months before they start eating. Just keep an eye on them, offer food once a week. Try different things - mouse hoppers, mouse fuzzies, rat pinkies, different colors, dark feed box, some light feed box etc. etc. When using live pinks and/or fuzzies can be left in overnight with no harm to either snake or feed. I raise my own feeders and usually feed f/k but only when the feeders have teeth
