How long will newborns go without eating?

[Clink]

When should I try to feed them or be worried that they aren't eating?
They've been hatched about 3 days now.

Sometimes they eat right out of the egg. Sometimes it takes longer. Three days is not a long time. No need to panic yet.

 

[Clink]

Should I put crickets in there to run around and tease them until they do eat? Or should I just put some in every day, but take them out if they aren't interested?

 

[Riverside Reptiles]

Put a cricket or two in and take them out if they're not interested.

Thank you so much!

Another good way to judge is by when they shed... usually after the first shed is when they will start eating

They are just entering their first shed today! So I hope they do okay.
Thanks all!

I usually dont even offer any of my geckos food for 3-5 days after they hatched. they are ready to eat by then and have no problem eating.

I offer my babies after the first shed.

It took mine four days to start eating.
