I offer our hatchlings their first meal after they have shed, which generally takes about two weeks after leaving the egg.

Good luck!

Hey,

I too do not even bother with feeding until 2 days after shed (1-2 weeks give or take)....I also try to avoid holding them much before they shed to give them sometime to chill. I know it is exciting, but you need to think about later...not just now.

Just my 2 cents........
