New Hatchlings!!!

[theycallmerapunzel]

As of 8/15/14 I have 23 new hatchlings from a clutch of 24! I am super excited, but also really nervous because this is my first clutch. At what rate should the babies be fed? I assume it's once/twice a day. But how soon after they hatch is a healthy time to begin feeding? I have had some tiny crickets in the cage and I have some fruit flies on the way, but I am worried that not all of them have been feeding. Also, I am planning on getting a twin-sized cage to split them half and half, but since they are only 2 days old, is that necessary at this time? Or can I wait a week or so? Thank you, any advise would be much appreciated!!!

Sorry, they are veiled chameleon hatchlings. They all seem to be doing well, I am just worried that they aren't all eating/hunting yet.

Its been forever since I raised calyptratus but I remember them eating within a couple of days of hatching. Did they have yolk sacs attached to them when they came out of the eggs?

Splitting them up depends on how big the cage you have them in is. It never hurts to have them in smaller groups and makes monitoring things like eating easier.
