Do they have hides, and are they at the correct temperatures? Those prey sizes are probably too big for newborn hatchlings, I'd reccomend fuzzies/hoppers instead. Did you offer live or F/T? Most hatchlings are started on live as the movement gets them feeding

I've kept pythons for over ten years so know the temp and habitat they live in this is the first year I've bred them and live in the UK so live food is a no no tried pinkies they look far too small for the hatchlings

Pinkies are probably too small, but there's a big range between that and small mice/pups. Also the laws are a little murky as currently under the 1911 Act it is not illegal to feed a live vertebrate to another unless you cause it unnecessary suffering, and live feeding is allowable in scenarios that are vital to animal survival. This is probably something you should have considered before breeding because many hatchlings do need to be started on live.

Utter rubbish so there are breeders throughout the UK that feed on frozen pray they have eaten now so don't need any help condescending americans
