hatchling levis help

[iand]

hi everyone......
my first levis levis just hatched out a few days ago and i was just wondering how long it would take for it too start eating. im not concerned at this point but was just curious as it is my first time as a parent to this species. thanks for the help, cheers, ian

Generally mine won't eat until they have shed, which is usually five days or thereabouts. If they haven't shed after five days I put a couple of weeny crickets in anyway. Trick is to get the size right, and only put two in per night until the little ones have gotten their confidence. If you have the time you can pull the back legs off the crickets to make them slower, but I never have and have never had a problem with knobbies not eating.

Good luck :0)
