Hello to all. One of my c. carinata who I've had for about a month had babies! She had four but only two are living. They were born on January 16th and they've already shed. How do I get them to eat? I've tried an anole leg and an anole head which they were not interested in. I have heard of using feeder guppies which I will try next then eventually try to switch to scented pinks. I also have three adult c. carinata who have no interest in pinks or frozen thawed anoles. I have seen one of the adults eat live anoles, house geckos, and green tree frogs which I used to feed by leaving them in his enclosure. I want to switch to pinks but I have had no luck. Any tips on feeding the babies and the adults would be helpful. Also, does anybody know where to get baby feeder anoles, house geckos, or green tree frogs?

Here's a picture of the babies.
