Baby hognose scared of EVERYTHING

Last month I got two baby western hognoses at a reptile convention. The male is 5months and the female is 7months now. They are in 10gallon tanks next to one another with correct temp, a nice hide, water, and a good amount of aspen chips.

The male is the chillest snake I'm ever meant. Zero issues in feeding him. He just opens his mouth as to say "Right here, please!"

The female is scared of EVERYTHING. Shadows, Finders, bedding, her hide, her water, pinkies, etc. She huffs and puffs at everything, but once you grab her, she's a sweety.

The breeder claimed she was on unscented F/T pinkies but she hasn't in the month I've had her. I tried scenting with a tree frog, braining, leaving pinkies over night. Wednesday I put a few feeder guppies in a water dish in there and a live pinky..... They are all still there in a dark room. When I checked, she was actually watching the guppies like a TV show. Last night I removed the pinkie and scented him in frog guts then left him over night again. The pinky will probably go to my male tonight. No clue on where to go next as she is too tiny to ply her cute little mouth open with a pinkie.
