Rescue babies eating on their own!!!

Yea! I guess they just needed more time to figure out that they can catch them. I leave some in all the time now (crickets are fed in there too) and the movement seems to do it without the stress of me moving them. I still take the branch out when I put new in so it is easier.

Little one with the lip pulled from the jaw is doing fine. I had pushed it back and wet it down after it happened and it stayed. So far, no infection. He had gotten stronger after force feeding him (remember I didn't think he would make it through the night) maybe because I left the lip to heal some, he got hungry enough to hunt.

Now I'll have to decide when they can go back to the store. I'll miss the little boogers.
