Pygmy neonate care

[Ecko14321]

I had a clutch of pygmies hatch today and was wondering when to offer them food for the first time? i have fruit flies and pin heads. should i dust them for their first feeding? was it okay thet i moved them from the hatch container to their new home after they hatched or should i have left them in there for a few days? any and all input would be helpful. i have 5 more clutches incubating and more clutches on the way

Sorry, i couldnt read that font very well.

The babies will be absorbing their egg sac/yolk, so a day or two and they will be fine. There is no harm in offering them some dusted fruit flies though I would start their suppliments straight away as they will be growing fast and will need the calcium. I wouldnt worry too much about moving them straight away, just keep an eye on them and make sure they are able to find their food and they are drinking

Good luck with your little ones and the eggs that are cooking
