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.They are absolute monsters when they start to eat. It may take a few days but they will soon start.

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!

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
