When you do separate the babies, make sure to provide a cup of moist sphagnum moss on the heated end that they can crawl into. Babies need humidity - they feed better on average, in general, for the most part (lol) when they have access to a humid hide*.



*Disclaimer: Not guaranteeing they will feed, but lack of humidity works against you (them), so eliminate that hurdle right away.



In the wild, they would be hatching in an area with ample humidity. After that, they tend to stay or go where they won't dry out. So, in captivity, to take them from the humidity and put them in a dry cage is not the best plan. So keep that humid hide in those baby cages. Good luck!
