one thing to bear in mind is to not stress them out by offering a feed too often, stick to trying once a week with minimum fuss/stress/handling between times |

I have never had hatchlings SanJ, but I have read that it is a common problem and if you do a search I am sure you will find a lot of information on what you can do to encourage them to eat.
I found these threads that are similar to yours -
Hatchlings not feeding
A common question but....
Any advice will be much appreciated - Feeding
Hope they can give you some ideas to help you get your babies eating.

maybe try covering them up at night with a pinkie in the tub with them? might work  |

Have you done the normal tricks of warming the mouse up, squeezing some blood out of it's nose, wriggling it in front of the snake, leaving it on kitchen roll in the hide overnight?
There are other things to try too but those are the easier ones to try first. |
