I wouldn't worry about when they were last fed at all. I wait a minimum of 6-7 days after arrival to offer food, and like Andy I don't feed snakes in shed (if I know they're in shed if they'll even actually take the food).
Babies aren't as hardy as adults, but baby boas can still go a long time without food, so no need to worry about them taking some time off of food. I feed my boa constrictors under 1 year every 10-14 days and they do just fine on it. So, they eat more often than an adult but less often than you would think.
