I just got 3 corn snakes about 2 months old. I was trying to feed them yesterday and today but only one of them ate the mouse . What can I do to make them eat ?

I'm not sure what you tried but give them a couple of days before you try again. Give them a little time to settle down.
Then place each snake in a small deli dish or similar type container with the pinkie.
Leave them alone for a little while.
Check on them after an hour or so.
If they eat, great, problem solved. If not give them a couple more hours or even leave them over might.
If this doesn't work get back with us and we will help from there.

I have a feeling they are in the same cage with each other..... Are they or do they each have their own vivarium?

I hope that's not the case. They might eat each other.

He/she should be feeding them individually in their deli cups.

I am not an expert, but just to let you know, I have also 2 baby corn snakes, and I tried to feed them last night, in a deli cup, and none of them ate. I tried again in the morning, one by one, of coarse, and they both ate. Just keep the pinkies in a warm place so they don't die
Also, put a rag or something to cover the deli cup, and do not bother them.
Don't worry my friend, they will eat.
Let us know,thanks
