Read the article on tease feeding on this site. It's good. I got my baby ruber to eat using a technique in the article. Also, my baby snakes didn't want pinkies at all. Wouldn't touch em. They attacked fuzzy mice though. Must have something to do with the smell of the hair. Hope this helps.

They probably wont eat insects. Ive had a lot of wildcaught babies that I tried to feed. I tried crickets,fence lizards,and pinkies, and they didnt touch them. I only kept mine for about a week and released them back to the same spot I found them (the second pair I had) I tried to feed some more I had but Im not sure if they would have eaten or not because I only kept them for a few hours before re-releasing them with there mother. I heard of someone feeding there baby coppers little frogs. That could work. DOnt try to feed them toads because that would probably kill them.
