Let them shed first. Split them up, after their sheds, start offering them food. Most neonate eastern milks aren't big enough to eat a pinky, and in the wild they eat snakes until they are large enough. Others will eat frogs, salamanders and lizards.

Try Ground skinks or hatchling blue tailed skinks. Tails of larger skinks are sometimes taken.
