How often do they usually eat? what temps are you getting in the warm area of the cage? how humid have you been keeping them? what size is the snake and food item? do the snakes show any physical changes? Here some questions I would ask to determine if there is a problem or if they are just fasting. I hope this helps to get you on the right path for them.
