I have never had hatchlings before Emma, only adults, so have no experience on getting them to eat....but there is some very good advice on the forum about it. One thing they will want to know is how the hatchlings are being kept....are they in separate tubs or in together, how are they heated, any information you can give them.
The first place to look for advice is the Guide to non-feeding snakes.
These threads may also help:
A common question but...., it is all about getting a hatchling to eat.
Hatchlings not feeding
Any advice will be much appreciated - Feeding
I am sure that someone who has experienced this will comment soon, but I do know that hatchlings can live for quite a while without feeding....so dont give up hope.
