when my hatchlings dont eat i usually get a live pinky and dip it warm water so it is a little wet. then holding the pinky at the end of a long set of tweezers i circle it around the pythons head, causing it to lose sight of it as it goes behind its head. as it comes into vision again this often causes them to strike at it. once they have their teeth in it they realise its food. id give her a rest for a couple of days though with no interference and drop a live pinky in there with her one night. good luck
 
thanks qudang appreciate it will try everything possible tonight and let you know how i go tomorrow
 
how big is a hatchling darwin carpet? i got my one 3 weeks ago and its around 50cm now. anyway he already takes adult mice
 
they are only about 30cm long still trying the pinkies one eats the other isnt so keen on it i will keep tryin
