I want to try to do this as well.
easy to do with a young snake only on one pinki per feed get a live one and put it into a small box with the snake for a while leave it and all should go according to plan if urs is a happy feeder if the snake pays no attention take the pinki away and try again in a couple of days

The key is to wait till their feeding response is well established. Once they will eat without being shy about it you can take a f/t pinkie and wiggle it to get their attention. They will usually take it with no problem. Remember with hatchlings and hesitant feeders patience is very important
Don't try to rush things.

Yeah, like Alicia said, wait until a feeding responce is well established and then make the switch. What I do for my hatchlings is to put the frozen pinky in a plastic bag and then into some warm (not hot) water for ten minutes to defrost and to warm up a bit. Then I hold the mouse with large tweezers or tongs and wiggle it around in front of the snake, making it think it's alive.
