Awesome news-- and requesting some advice

Have you tried live pinks? or using tongs to wiggle the pinks? some may even bite defensively w/ a "tap on the shoulder" & then go on to consume once

they've tasted it. A bit more warmth might help?* How are they being kept? (not in one cage, I hope?) Do they have hides? Incidentally, I've raised my

share of corns & other snakes, & they don't all respond identically. I'm not a fan of "force-feeding" actual prey items, but I managed to raise some tiny

desert glossy snakes by first gently tube-feeding thinned/w/water Gerbers chicken babyfood...you are correct that it's risky to let their energy level drop too

low, then the more drastic measures to feed are the only hope. *You might also take them outside for some sunshine to perk up their appetite: about 10-

15 minutes at suitable temperatures, then try offering food later that night. Snakes seem to have their own personalities: for most, handling is a turn-off,

but years back I got 4 of the corns I currently have now from another breeder, and they were poor feeders unless I HELD them in my hands (!?!) where

they seemed to feel secure? Craziest thing I've ever seen...so keep trying things & make notes of what works for which ones...once you get them feeding,

they'll probably all be fine...but these need extra help for now. Don't wait. And btw, I've never seen any advantage to "braining" pinks, it makes them a

little harder to grab also. Even if you start some on live pinks, they normally switch to f/t easily...corns love to eat, & usually love the chase also. You can

also try putting them overnight in a smaller container (deli type w/ air holes) with f/t pink...it may work for some. They didn't all read the same manual...

Another thought, their hides may not offer enough security: you can even use a paper towel cardboard roll, but whatever, crumple some paper towel &
stuff some inside; if using open-ended roll, tightly pack one end, & loosely stuff paper in the other end. Baby snakes love to snuggle into paper crevices.
Then if they use the hides, you'll typically see them peeking out...that's when they typically grab food (live or wiggled or even f/t left) from where they
feel safe. Good luck!
