First time father doesn't know what's goin on...

Is it unusual for geckos to shed within a day of hatching? Cuz my two males that were incubated at 89-91* shed already. Even had their first poops... and they haven't eaten anything but the sheds. Should they be pooping already? I'm assuming their metabolism is real fast since they were kept so warm, but should that affect the first sheds? I always herd that it took "within a week" but don't know if 24 hours is too fast...

I wouldn't call it "too fast", even if it's sooner than usual. Offer them some food now, sounds like they're ready to go.
