Hey Sam,
I usually start feeding trials about a week to two weeks after hatching. Where are you located? I get the feeling that you are somewhere in Indo.

Hey,
I know of it, to the North. I had a friend visit a few years ago and he loved it there. Can't wait to go one day and see it for my self. Good luck with the babies!
