Hi Alessio,
Hope all is well with your newest arrivals In case you ever have problems getting any of them to eat, I have some helpful tips. In the past I had appetite problems with a few hatchling Cyrtodactylus pulchellus. Sometimes weak babies are born, due to the babies not absorbing their yok sac completely. Usually these weaker offspring don't eat very well during their first weeks. I had to do some daily assist feeding with these ones. I would pick up a calcium dusted baby cricket with tweezers and carefully show it to the baby gecko while he was sitting comfortabally in his cage. Most of the time they would eat it right away. This really worked well and they did eventually start hunting the crickets after about a month or two. Good luck with your geckoella babies! Hope they are eating well for you!
