it isn't normal to have to tube feed a hatchling. it is normal for them to start eating on their own, even if it takes multiple attempts and methods. if the snake is too weak from malnourishment then a herp vet may recommend tube feeding as a last resort option, but it is in no way normal.

there is also no way for any of us to say that this particular snake will be fine, especially with the very limited knowledge we have of the situation. there are many reasons why she may not be feeding and sometimes it's just not something we can remedy. i'm not saying that i feel that this is the case here, just that only the qualified herp vet that is treating this snake in person can really be the judge of whether or not this situation is or isn't likely to be resolved.
