with 2 that I kept from a litter of northerns. I tried everything you did. After 3 months, they still hadn't taken their first meal. Last resort, I force fed them both twice each. After that, they took pinkies with absolutely no problems. Either off tongs or just left in the cage. A few times they even grabbed them out of the air before they hit the ground in front of them. It's like you have to teach them what they're supposed to eat. Then they just pick it up from there. It was nerve racking but a good learning experience. As far as the force feeding itself, you just gotta be really careful. For your sake and theirs.
