Assuming you're feeding F/T (frozen & thawed) ...
What temp are you getting the pinkie up to first ?
I try and feed all my hatchling at room temp pinks because it's easiest. If they won't take at room temp, first thing to try is warming the pinkie in hot water. 30 seconds or so in hot water is usually enough, just to warm it through. Then put it back in with the snake, in a small tub with nothing else in it, then cover the tub with a towel so it feels secure. Leave in total peace and quiet and come back in hour.
There are plenty other things to try, but that is always my first step for a reluctant feeder. Worked with all my hatchlings this year ...
