First Clutch

khamilton Aug 02, 2009 04:00 PM

Just hatched my first clutch of three eggs. They have all shed as of this morning. I got them set up into individual tubs today..when should I attempt to feed? and what? Can I try frozen thawed since I have some?

Wait to offer food until they have had their first sheds, and if they still look fat from the yolk, wait a few more days.

Yes they have all shed...and they still look pretty fat..they are bigger than I thought they would be...too cute! Thanks for your reply.

Yeah, I reread your post, ok, so they have shed, and if they look fat still, I would let em be for another few days. I doubt they will take frozen. I would try fuzzy mice or rat pinkies.
