New Babies today. Couple questions.

Lazor1 Dec 08, 2007 03:51 PM

I hatched my first cresteds today, i will get some pics soon.
I have a couple questions.
How soon before i give them CGD. Should i wait a couple days or give it to them now?
Right now i put them in a critter keeper,lined with paper towel. I also have a egg type carton in there to hide in if they choose.
Is there anything else that i should do to make them content with their new surroundings?
Thanks

make sure you mist them to keep humidity high, stuck shed is a potentially big problem. offer a low dish of fresh h2o. if they look plump you can wait a few days to offer cgd , probably won't eat 'till post shed anyway.
other than that , sounds like you're doin' fine, neonates like it warmer than adults, mid to high 70's is good.
good luck, post pics.
