I like that baby care article. I will probably answer most of your care questions. The main thing with babies is "no extremes", either in temps, humidity fluctuations, size of food, type of food, amount of disturbance. They are tiny and just don't have the reserves an older cham would. One hard reality of buying very tiny babies...sometimes they just die of natural causes. There is often a percentage of any clutch that is not destined to survive because of internal problems, metabolic deficiencies, etc. that you can't detect. There is no way to know which hatchlings are going to survive, and if you buy them too young this natural selection hasn't occurred yet. I don't mean to freak you, but it can happen. The ivy won't be a hazard until she starts trying to nibble on it. Chams don't usually start eating veggies until they are older, but just to be safe I'd switch it. Be careful with your southern window and make sure there is always a shady spot as the sun moves during the day. Good luck!
