Let them shed, about 10 to 15 days, then give them at least a week, I usually try to feed mine a month after they have hatched, that yolk sack gives them a long time to figure out how to eat.

I wait a couple of days after their first shed. I offer them hopper mice. They usually shed about a week after they hatch.
