Hi
cricks not bigger then space between the eyes .
and put vew in a plastic box put that for 1,2 min in freezer look every time when they just stop moving you need to get them out and feed them .
then after a while they start moving again and then they r easy prey .
i always do that you not get a eating freanzy and tail and toe nips.
NOTE dont forget cricks to get out freezer it happend to me couple times
i let them unfreez dunno word for it and then they wil eat them dead .
byeeeeeee

most hatchlings wont eat right away, they are still full from the egg yolk. best thing to do is actually leave your babies in the incubator for the first 24 hrs of hatching. some dragons are hatched with the egg sack still out of their belly, and this extra time in the incubator will let that go away. just put them in clean egg containers and let em be.
