Sorry to be a pain with all the questions but. After all what was said about the live feeding i started to try feeding defrosted food. They normaly have 2 rat pups each(live)2 snakes by the way.The first week 1 had 1 small mice and the other did not eat and this week both have not eaten. They are still very young 1 is 118g and the other is 148g.So what iam asking really is how long should i leave it before i worry??? both Royals are both very active aswell would they be hungry??? Thanks for reading

Cheers Danny

Cleo didn't eat for me at about that weight for 6 weeks and lost about 1g only in that time.

Just keep trying weekly and weighing if they refuse the food to keep an eye on them. Then leave them alone for a week again.

Stick at it. They're like kids when they're being fussy eaters. they've gotta eat sooner or later.

and when you do try a feed make sure the prey item is really hot, you might need to wiggle it around for 5 or 10 minutes to pretend it's alive (whilst trying to stay very still yourself so you don't put the snake off)
