Place the hatchling and a pinkie in a deli cup, place the deli cup back in the snake's enclosure, turn off the light and leave it alone over night.
If this doesn't work let us know and we will offer more suggestions.

I would leave it over night in the deli cup with a live pinkie to stimulate the snake a little with movement/body temp and smell. If she doesn't eat it then I would suggest getting a F/T pinkie and exposing the brain and try that in the deli cup.Just make sure you drill some air holes in the deli cup!

well, since you have f/t you might as well go ahead and try that. If it works then you are that much ahead of the game.
If it doesn't work then give it a couple of days and try a live pinkie.
