My little Darwin had not fed for 3 weeks and I was starting to worry about it, I tried to feed it a pinkie for the last two weeks every 3 or 4 days but it had no interest.I played the pinkie in front of it, making sure it was warm which worked with my Woma but this little just didn't react at all.The next step was to warm the tank and put the pinkie in the entrance to its hide and wait, but this proved no good and I had to come up with a new plan.The solution was to remove its hide, up the temp in its encloursure and put the pinkie on a small plate where its hide was, I then put a little fish blood and tiny bit of liver on the pinkies head and after a while of smelling it the little guy slowly began to feed.it wasn't a quick grab and rap rather then then a slow swallow but it ate it fine and then climbed a branch to be closer to the light.This was the 1st problem I have had feeding a snake but Im happy it worked and feel better now.
 
I am glad you found a solution that worked for you :) I am lucky thus far I havent had any issues yet except for regurgitation once but that was a one off thing so it seems :)
