I didn't know you could feed them when I tried this some years back.



She ate like crazy after the hatch, gained back good weight and went again the next year. Also I had 100% hatch and survival rate but it was a small clutch with not much of a pile. I really think the MAIN reason it's not done more is that we keepers have trust issues and like to think we can control things better in an incubator. Maybe I’ll get my nerve up and try it again and feed this time. Hatching was sure fun to watch and I like to think the females are programed to enjoyed seeing the fruit of their labor too.
