As far as the cage goes, do you have something smaller for now? Try and come up with something else if possible. If not, make sure that they have plenty of hides in the 4'2'2'. I would leave them alone as much as possible, and let them get used to this new, large world that they will be in. Sometimes, keeping two snakes together in any enclosure can cause stress. As far as the feeding question, are you referring to the baby as the one that was born in September? If yes, it should of already fed. Where did you get him at? If you were not referring to the one born in September, then we need more info. Size of baby, and where you got him. Regardless, you can attempt to feed anytime. If he does not eat, then wait another week. This sounds like a lot of changes for a little snake, the new cage and all. Don't be surprised if he takes his time before he eats.

It is not wise to put two dumerils that age in the same enclosures. I have been told that they can be canabalistic at that age.

Yes In the wild they are snake and lizard eaters when young. You will probably end up with one really fat snake. Seperate enclosures til they are more adults.
