If they are only 3" long they really need some very small feed like Aquamax AM400 with 3/32 pellets. Very small BB size.
Most people don't have ready access to such feed so an alternative is to crush or grind some regular size pellets down to smaller size. An alternative is to soften them. Once they get used to the feed they will peck at the larger pellets till they soften, then eat them.
You may not see much activity from newly stocked BG. If the pond is full you probably have a huge area of water for a relative small amount of fish. It will take them a while to find the feeding spot.
Keep at it though, with small amounts of feed and eventually they will get the idea. If you have FHM they likely will get feed trained first, then the BG can learn from them. When fish start hitting feed and splashing, it is kind of like the dinner bell being rang.
