I hate to say it but you're probably fighting a loosing battle -- if the snake is not feeding because it's stressed or doesn't like f/t - then it's not going to feed if you keep at it like you've been doing. Take the baby out of the pet store. Set it up in a nice quiet small dark tub with a hide and a water bowl (and properly monitored heat) -- leave it for a week give it a live hopper or small adult mouse - wait 15 minutes to see if it takes it - if not take the mouse out and try again 4 days later. Once it's an established feeder then you can switch it to f.t. and take it back to the pet store.
