Im geussing when you say "out" you mean out of the egg. If thats the case, i would not jump to feeding them with a dropper just yet. If they are eating greens that is fine, they will get onto crickets in a few days. Ive had some baby clutches not eating crickets for up to 5-7 days after hatching, but they drank and ate their greens (i woulda thought it would have been the other way around!!!) Just give them some time!

Tell me if i just misunderstood the post!

No you didnt, you were right on the money and i appreciate it. I am thinking about gettting pellets for them and going cricket free, that would be, pellets greens all day, and baby food like veal and stuff, but then i dont know crix are so much easier till you have to catch them at the end of the night.

That sounds awesome if you can get them on pellets this early! You can give them crickets later, usually ALWAYS , even if kept off live prey the whole life, they will go back to them, and pellets are always a good thing to get them on!!! good luck,. and post pics of the babies soon!
