I keep both species and both are generally really good feeders (although my king will only feed when I am not in the room but she's always been like that, very shy feeder).

It is possible they could smell the new additions/species and it has made them a bit shy otherwise I would say it's a fluke. I have an adult female corn for over 15 years, when a rescue male corn was moved into the snake room, she laid eggs for the very first time, the only thing I could surmise was that she smelled the new male pheromones and it triggered it (it hasn't happened again in the last 5 years, just that first month when the male was first brought in).

Hopefully they get back on track with regular feedings for you soon, I would suspect if it is the change due to the new additions, they will adjust and get used to it quickly.
