Help!! 19 baby boas

Question
Hi,

I have a question about feeding baby boas..  My son's boa had 19 babies, all alive and pretty healthy.  Only 2 with problems, one a runt and very small, the other has a defect on his mouth. (like clef lip)  All have shedded except for the runt.  They were born on August 8, 2009.  So far, we havent had any luck getting them to eat.  We have been bit several times, but not the pinkies.  Go figure lol.

The mother was very sick when we got her, she was on antibiotics for several weeks for a respiratory infection, then on top of that, she had mites!  (which she passed to our other snake! grrr...)

Any tricks for to get the babies to eat?? Or, could the meds have done anything to them to make them not want to eat yet?

Thank you for your time.  

Sincerely,

Stormy

Answer
Switch the pinkies to hoppers.  Pinkies are too small.  You want a mouse with its eyes open, ears up, walking around on it's own.  Isolate them to feed, with that many I'd recommend paper lunch bags or deli cups.  Let me know if you need more help!  B
