I would try to find rat pinks, then. He won't starve himself. Hatchlings will eat just about anything because in the wild that's their most vulnerable time. Find a f/t small (10 or 12 gram) adult mouse or rat pink and offer and see if he takes it.

Since he's your first snake and a baby, it's super important to make sure your husbandry is spot-on.
