Darwin hatchling not feeding

[gudang]

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
