While i was on holiday a friend fed my snakes for me, and he left a defrost pinkie draped across a branch in its cage, and that seems to be what triggered it to feed.

Interestingly enough, that's what a breeder I respect learned to do with Gonyosoma oxycephala hatchlings. It does not surprise me the same would work for Rhyncophis.

The hatchlings are very difficult to get feeding, has anyone found otherwise?

Unfortunately, no. They're very tough. At least they're easier to force feed that other difficult hatclings. Or so I've heard.
