Hatchlings are very small, so feeding them could be a problem. Hatching brine shrimp eggs may be necessary. Larger larvae are easier to feed, as they will eat meat, such as beef, if it is moved slowly in front of them. When they transform, make sure they can get out of the water or they will drown. Captives sometimes get fungus on their skins. If they do, then a drop of mercurochrome mixed in with the water will clear things up.
