have you not tryed braining and diffrent other ways like how you defrost them and warm them up first

With the one that I had I had to disturb it as little as possible. Drag the mouse back and forth over the sand untill it erroupted and snaffled the mouse, always reminded me of the film tremors lol

Please leave live until ALL else fails. You don't want chunks taking out of your snakes. Have you tried braining, scenting, fresh killed?

Dunno, but I always kept mine on sand, and never had a problem with it feeding. What have you got it on ?

bark chips
also my male and females cages are next to each other; cud that affect it?

How big are they?
I wouldn't try live until all else fails and also it's only been a couple of months there's plenty of time to keep trying.
Try and keep a record of their weight to check that it's not dropping excessively.
I'd force feed before thinking about feeding live.

I've always seen ksb's kept on sand and although as long as the substrate is deep enough they'll be able to burrow sand would make it easier for them, might be worth changing over?

good luck with them
