I don't think they are too small for pinks, I have a hatchling Wesstern Hog who is also very small but he eats f/t with no problems (knock on wood)...have you tried offering baby toads? What scenting methods are you using?
Are you just leaving the pink in there with the snake?
have you tried leaving it alone with the pinky in a deli cup over-night?
Have you tried "tauting" the snake with the pink, or bumping his nose with the pink?

Answer those questions and it will allow others on this board to offer more help, myself included, best of luck with your situation!

P.S. i sorta know how you feel I have two hatchling honduran milks that constantly refuse F/T...They have taken a total of 3 F/T pinky's between the two of them and refused over 5...just don't give up keep offering every two or three days and hopefully you will end up successful.
