I have had problem hatchlings before, I found that after a few force feeds they would almost always start to eat by themselves, boiling pinkies is a bad thing to do and I have never used this method or know anyone that has, been working with reptiles for over 20 years.

have always fed defrosted pinkies, warmed up in hot water for about 10 mins.wouldn`t boil them but then everyone is different!!nothing worse than a pet not eating as its like one of your kids not eating but i`ve learned that snakes will eat when they are ready,kids just need a kick up the butt and they eat
