Veiled Neonate Care

[RicoRoxy]

We have our first batch of veiled eggs, 41 laid on 3/1/2012, placed in the closet.
How soon after they emerge will they need to eat, 1 hour? 12? I am wondering if I need to keep ff's on hand even though I really dont know when they will hatch.

How soon do you move them from the hatchrite container. I saw a youtube video where the breeder left the first hatchling in the container, did not move it immediately.

Is this to give it a chance to acclimate before moving it to the "jungle gym"??

Any info will be greatly appreciated.. I want to do it all right for the darlings...

I spend about an hour a day reading the posts on the log... I just have not found this particular answer.

Congrats on your eggs! They normally don't eat until they are 2 days old. I wait and move my babies normally the next day after they hatch. They usually run around and wake up all the babies and most of the eggs will all hatch at once. When you move them as they hatch, which is ok to do, it just seems to take longer for all the eggs to hatch. You can see pictures of my baby bins here in post #10. https://www.chameleonforums.com/baby-bins-enclosures-56164/

Thank you so much for the help. I am eager to be the one with a table full of baby chameleons... Not sure how my family would feel if I took over the dining room!
