I left the babies in the incubator for around 24 hours after emerging from the egg. Babies when they first hatch are very tired and worn out from the energy used to get out of the eggs, and may not move much at all, but by 24 hours they are up and alert and that is when I moved them into the rearing bins. If any should hatch with the yolk sack attached you have to keep them on moist paper towels to keep it from catching and pulling it off before the baby has the chance to absorb it. Keep the babies well hydrated by misting and putting water to the snout with a dropper. Copy & paste the url for a lot more info on caring for hatchlings
