It depends on how much time and patience you have. You can train some or most of them to eat frozen bloodworm fed by hand, but it takes a lot of practice. Since you're taking on so many at once, I'd separate those who feed readily when fed by hand from those who don't. That way, you can manage your time better. When you don't have much time, you can quickly feed those that readily eat hand-fed food and fatten them up, while working on a couple of the others, and later when you have sufficient time, you can concentrate on "training" the other reluctant ones to do so. It's better to have at least several well-fed, strong ones with good survival prospects than have all of them skinny, hungry, and just barely hanging on the edge of survival day after day. Once they become weak, it's all the harder to get them to eat sometimes.
I don't suppose you have access to very small wax worms? I regularly order away for and use them and pinhead crickets mainly for morphs. Also possible is beefheart and liver, chopped earthworms, balls of tubifex worms, etc. And all sorts of tiny insects that you can find in say forest soil.
But if you have no experience with feeding morphs yet, then take on only a few -- unless, as you suggest, they're destined to die in other hands and you're willing and able to put in the required effort. Good luck with them!
