First Hatch Food Question

My first clutch is hatching and the hatchlings are obviously dinky. I have extra small pinkies from Rodentpro. Is this size ok? To big and cut in half? Thanks

That's what I use without fail. You'll do just fine.

they can surely eat those. I just had a 2 gram tiny hatchling eat a xs pinkie from RP when he was 2 days old. They can eat much bigger than you would expect.
