I honestly have had better luck starting hatchlings off on frozen thawed than on live - if it's been over two months and they have not eaten yet - its probably about time to start trying to assist feeding them - one or two assist feeds and they should pick up the eating on their own - Yes if the mice/rats you are getting are picking up some funky odor at the pet store - it's possible that that may be the reason why you're snake aren't eating them. Maybe you can get some used bedding from your friend or someone - bring the mice home and let them run around in the bedding for a day or two then try feeding them. ----- Tosha
