Corn snakes are solitary by nature and do best when kept seperately. I'd give each snake its own enclosure - that might solve your feeding problem.

Also, for me corn snakes also seem to feed better when kept in small cages.

Absolutely,....also, try feeding them at night in TOTAL DARKNESS all by themselves with ZERO distraction from you, or anything else. Corns are nocturnal hunters, especially young hatchlings.

During the day, they all stay hidden and relax in their small hide boxes, but as soon as it starts to get dark, they are ALL out and about hunting without exception.
