I thought they were those paradoxes. And I don't blame you for worrying. I would too. Like it or not people look at dollar value sometimes. That and those three are just too cute to lose.
That said I wouldn't panic for weeks. Easy for me to say. ;-)But really. I just fed my yearling girl who just shed. She had to be reminded of the prey three times before she said "Oh hey! There's a mouse in here!" I just gently put it in front of her, facing her a couple of times. For some reason I find that often if the snake can smell the prey's mouth it helps. Go fig. But with tiny babies I put them in a deli cup and leave them totally alone for an hour at least, then maybe peek. I usually just put them in the cup and put it all back in the enclosure so that the heat is good. Good luck and let us know.
