Well you should always feed them in a seperate container (tupperware works fine) so they do not get used to the idea of the cage opening and being fed.

something thats worked for me in the past
try removing the water dish for a couple of hours then get your pinky and dip it into water before putting it in with the snake
just dont leave the dish out too long!

Take a pinkie, place it in a small deli dish (with air holes of course) and then place a hatchling in with it. Place it back in the viv and give it a little while. This way the pinkie is right there. There is no chance the snake won't find it. If you just place the pinkie in the viv it is very possible the little guy won't come out of hiding and find it.
Also as stated, feed seperately.
You shopuld house them seperately too but that's another thread.
