I wouldn't recommend starving them out. These snakes have much faster metabolisms than most snakes, There have been observations of wild snakes eating daily, for up to a little over a week straight before observations could not be continued. (this is technically hearsay based on observations, but there were pictures included in that report). I'd just continue to feed them on whatever schedule you have them on, if they aren't taking rodents yet, still feed them what they will take, they aren't refusing rodents simply because they aren't hungry for them...
