feeding hatchling

I'm an old hand at snakes, but new to GBKs. I picked up a trio at Daytona and the male is a VERY finicky eater. I got one lizards-scented pink into him, but the females eat like corns -5 pinks to his one (since the show). Is lizard-scenting a bad idea? I feared it might be habit forming, but it's even hit or miss for him -mostly miss. Braining, deli cups, and teasing haven't worked. Any advice appreciated.

Keep scenting with lizards. Your lucky it doesn't want live lizards. It may be weeks or months but if you can keep it alive on lizard-scenteds it will eventually switch over to unscenteds.
