For those with experience breeding and raising R. brevicaudatus- How long after hatching before babies begin to eat?
 
I think mine were eating the first day.
I depended on the micro fauna in their enclosure for a little while (springtails, etc.), now I am dumping in melanogasters every day.

Here's a picture of my baby brevicaudatus enclosure.
It is a 10 gallon with a standard screen lid.
The substrate is teeming with tiny snails, springtails, fungus gnats (although the springtails seem to be taking care of those), baby sow bugs and whatever else ??? I see different tiny bugs in these enclosures all the time.
I have a UVB over half of the enclosure so they can choose to be under it or not.
You can actually see a baby on the far right vertical branch.
