I have 2 snakes that I bought 3 weeks ago. Back then they where coming out of brumation, but they haven't eaten yet. Since they are newborns of july I'm getting a bit worried. Does anybody have some tricks?

Every 3 days I gave them a bit food, I've tried:
- smelt (I think, it's straight from the dictionary)
- earthworm
- living fish ( those zebra striped little fish )

They are still quite alive, but I'm thinking not to wait to long before to force them to eat... I don't want to lose them.

(I would have created a seperate thread, but I found it also as question to the previous post)
