Cooling down works for mostly all non feeding hatchlings....
You see...in the wild some hatchlings live solely on their yolk reserve then brumate...after cooling they begin to feed....at least that is what has been told to me over the years....So, I cool down my nonfeeders for 6 weeks and when they get warmed up 90% of them feed readily.....

Your alternate food items will work too, but what happens when they are not available anymore? The neonate snake's metabolism has been kicked in and weight must be kept on the snake or it will eventually start kinking due to malnutrition then eventually dying.

So....This late in the year I believe it to be a great idea to cool it down for 6 weeks or so and try again in when you warm the calking back up......
