IMO With hatchlings and new babies pinks are never The way to go. Ft is never The way to go. Pinks are too immobile. Ive personally neve had a hatchling take an ft so i dont try. They dont kickstart that feeding response. I've made the same mistake too. But now I only start my babies on hopper mice live. Worry about conversion later. You really want that baby to eat. Try not to offer too much, or change too many things quickly. If you do the process of acclimation starts all over.
Sometimes a black out tub works. I usually have 3 tubs that I've spray painted the outside Black ready and waiting when babies start coming out. Any that have refused 3 weeks in a row or more get moved into te black out. I wait 7-10 days before offering again and that usually does the trick.
I'd let him be for 10 days and then at night offer 1 live mouse weanling.
I'm sure if you do this you'll see that he's just stressed and really not that stubborn. Good luck!
