Trouble eating. Need help

I have been trying to feed my baby snow corns for about a week and they just don't seem interested. Any idea on how I could get them eating?

Well "trying for about week" means you are probably trying too often if you have tried more than once during the week.

First though, are they newborns?
What's the cage?
What temps on both sides?

How old are they?Are you wiggling the food?Is it live ordead(food)

Give them baby mouse. VERY littel one , like new born. you unfroze them in hot water but dont let them in it like 5 min are they cook and your snake wont eat them. Just be sure the mouse is Realy unfrozen caus is there stil even a littel frozen it could kill him. so touch it to be sure his lung.

instead of touching it you should squeeze(not so hard that it explodes!!!) the side of the stomach(pinch the middle) and feel that its warm in the stomach(all this refers to the mouse by the way lol)
And im pretty sure when Miroko said New born or etc he meant a pinky mouse

its actually, the snake can take a mouse about 1 and a half times the size of the biggest part of the snake.
