Re: help!
They are kind of a nervous snake. Disturb them as little as possible on the day of feeding and when offering them food. You can try frozen/thawed as you said, or you could also try fresh killed.
If you feed them in a separate tub- maybe give them a hide in the tub, and leave them in there for a little while so they can settle down before sneaking in there with some food. Make sure the tub is secure, and in a warm enough spot(if you set it on the cold floor- they might lose their appetite).
I just got done feeding mine. The male is in shed, so I just fed the female- she ate 2 small live rat fuzzies. Good chance to try to catch her up in size with the male- he's just a little bigger.
I'm only brumating a few of my snakes, so many of the rest are hit and miss with feeding due to the time of year- so I just feed a few here and a few there. I use alot more live rodents in winter- better feeding sucess. Spring through fall, I feed them all at once, and almost all f/t.
