hatchling cages

Our female ambilobe layed 27 eggs about 2 months ago, and so far they are doing great. We are now preparing to house the babies when they hatch, so I have a few questions on the caging for them.
What would be the best way to house all 27 of them (assuming they all survive)? Our plan is to custom build ~12 cages or so, and house them 2-3 per cage. If we were to do it this way, what size should the cages be? We obviously plan on selling them when they're old enough.
Any other suggestions are helpful, this is our first time with eggs :) thanks
 
This is a great video to watch- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kz9-B4-EzI&list=UU2-lho6iJo8HbYvO96EcC0g

You can get 10 gallon reptile tanks or plastic 10 gallon bins to keep them in for the first 1-2 months of the life's. They need to be kept at high humidity for the first month, so a tank or bin will help a lot. In one 10 gallon tank/bin you can keep about 10 baby chams. Ive been doing a lot of research on this because i have the same thing with my Ambanja. Hope this helps and good luck:D

I like using glass for the little ones because the small insects are easier to contain. Also keeps moisture inside. They like to lick the water off the glass sometimes.
