As a general rule, try less invasive feeding techniques first such as deli cupping them with the food item. Sometimes tease feeding works... sometimes it doesn't. Generally if you tease, the snake bites, releases, and goes into defensive mode it is best to call it quits for the night as anything further will probably just stress the snake. At 5 days old they should still have quite a bit of yolk and might not be interested in food items for quite sometime. I've personally never raised pigs from neonates so others might have more/better insight on this topic.
