As Sir William suggests above, temperature can certainly be the villain. Normally a "baby" mutigus can swallow a hopper or larger soon after birth, though that might not be preferred from the outset. You might try a pinkie rat rather than a mouse. With similer food mass but no hair it might be easier to digest. Two snakes are not likely to share a birth defect in the digestive system. It's possible they were exposed early on to intestinal parasites via a shared water bowl contaminated with feces or picked up same from tongue flicking in dirty substrate. That would be premature to assume at this point but file away the thought. Keep us posted...
