Help with probing small Hatchlings- North Brisbane

[Mangles]

I have 6 patternless Childreni that hatched in November, but were very small (6-8 grams) and with the exception of 1 have been slow feeders. In the past month most have started feeding regularly but they are still small between 6-12 grams).

I do know how to probe, but given their small size my probes are too big and I am not confident with doing such little ones. So I am wondering if there are any experienced people around the northside of Brisbane that may be able to probe these for me. I am willing to pay for this service.

Alternatively if someone could give me some advice as to how you probe such small snakes.

Thanks.

Don't you pop small hatchies instead of probing?

That's what I thought.
