I have 18 new born baby veiled chams, very cute and look healthy, 4 came out on friday, 10 on saturday the rest is yesterday, but even the first 4 still haven't started to eat yet. any idea? many thanks.
 
Out of the egg they still have a bit of reserve yolk to absorb. So once they finish absorbing the yolk, your going to go through pounds(money) like you have never known.:DThey are absolute monsters when they start to eat. It may take a few days but they will soon start.

i am jealous i would give anything to feed my girls' babies... she is 6 months and is forming her first clutch. i am goin to wait until she is receptive again until i introduce a male!!!
 
What are you trying to feed them? You should try fruit flys & pinhead crickets. They will start eating very, very soon. How do you have them set up? make sure to mist them so they stay hydrated.
 
It always takes my baby veileds about 5-6 days to start eating. Since they hatch on different days their eating will start up on different days.
 
They wont start eating for a couple days but make sure your misting there cage every 30 min atleast if you can. I would order Large pin head crickets and some fruit flys. Once they start eating it is insane how much they eat. Good luck!

By first clutch you mean infertiles right?. Oh and its one of the best feelings ever...:)Not trying to make you even more jealous.:rolleyes:
 
Oh, yes, it is defenetely one of the most fantastic thing....little babies coming out from their egg...:) I keep them in a 30x30x45 cm exo terra vivarium, they got about 82.5 at basking area, lower on the other parts of the viv., got 5.0 reptisun uv. I bought for them a micro crickets which is a bit bigger then pinheads and will get some fruit flies on wednesday. they drinking very well and climbing and messing about :D
