feeding...tried all i know--5 ft boa and 2.5 ft dumerils

Using a large rat, head split with brains exposed for the large boa, and a large mouse, head and belly split revealing all the guts for the dumerils...neither will take. What is my next step?

When my snakes don't eat, I wait a week and try again. And if that doesn't work, then I wait another week and then try again. They'll eat when hungry.
