Resolved Issue with feeding. Thanks for all the support.

How old is this new baby? Are you keeping record of her weight week to week? If so is she gaining?
Have you tried scenting with tuna or chicken juice? Have you tried braining? What techniques have you tried when it comes to offering the food item? Tongs? In tub? Out of tub? In a small tall container with tongs? Small container with lid covered up?
I ask all this because currently I have 5 baby females I am raising up for breeding and each individual one needs at least one of the things above to feed successfully.
One of my girls is also inconsistent with if she will eat or how much. And with her I have to sit and move the f/t pinky around her a lot while she is in the main baby feeding container (only used for feeding babies and always smells of food) until eventually she just suddenly decides to eat. It can sometimes take 15 min. of “chasing” her to get her to actually eventually eat. And I always have to brain it, and rewarm it if she takes to long and it gets cold. If I leave her in a small container alone she won’t eat at all.
Sometimes babies are just a little slow to start. As long as she is gaining weight, pooping, and shedding you are okay. It just might mean she takes longer to grow to the size needed for breeding.

Can we see pics of the setup? Does she have places to hide and feel secure? How often do you handle? I myself have a baby corn like you and have not had a problem with feeding. If anything she is too hungry when I feed but I wont complain
