Baby leos will not eat until after their first shed which should be within a week after hatching. Right now, they are living off the small reserves of egg yolk they absorbed before hatching out. Baby leos will take very small crickets and mealies. Don't catch household bugs because you never know where they have been or what they have eaten.
