You should put the pinksssss right outside his hide, during the evening. Almost all of us want to interact with our snakes, but smaller snakes want to eat in secret. When you get it feeding regularly, it will charge up when dinner time comes around, trust me! Some people don't like to feed on substrate, and that is good for them, I feed in cage, never had a problem the snake couldn't handle. If you are overly worried about this, put the pinks in a very small bowl or cup in front of the hide. If you move wrong sometimes when they are eating, at this size, they will stop and run for it. Try the hide approach, it works well.
