They can be very fussy.

Most will start feeding on thawed pinkies after there first shed 2-3 weeks. Make sure the temp is good 30-32, and then annoy the hatchling with the thawed pinkie. It may grab it and let go, try and try again (be persistent) If not leave it a few mpre days and try again.

A few require lizard scenting, and really fussy feeders can be fed with rat tails (force feeding, only as last resort)
