My pair of ashy geckos has been fruitful so far this year. Only two eggs have hatched so far (last one one week ago, next due soon), and I have another 5 eggs incubating at this time. Here is the first to hatch.
Sphaerodactylus elegans hatchling!

Almost forgot, do you use UV with these guys?

Ive seen hatchlings eat FF's, springtails and even crickets... They are one of the few geckos or lizards for that matter that will tear their food and eat pieces as opposed to swallowing whole.
Rusty, I get what you are saying but I just had my first elegans hatch yesterday and they are truly tiny. I set him up by himself and put in some melanos but the flies look big in relation to his head. I just started a springtail culture and some isopods but it is going to be a while until the cultures start to produce numbers.

Didn't realize you were talking about one that small... Springtails are definitely the way to go then.
How long have you been keeping these guys and what do you feed the adults? How many do you have?
Mine are kept in an enclosure that has been seeded with isopods and springtails for 2 months before I put the geckos in.
So little info out there on these guys so I'm trying to get as much info as I can.

I would still keep some of the fruit flies around if you can't feed the springs... Like I said earlier they can definitely eat larger prey than you would think... Just not ideal.
I have a lone female that laid an egg without me realizing it. The baby hatched yesterday and I caught him roaming around but I was completely unprepared for it. I feed the mama hydeis and crickets. I have had her for approx 6 months or so. I also keep gonatodes albogularis fuscus.
