Hi,
Our first clutch of fertile eggs have just started to hatch over the last couple of days. 7 out of 19 fully out and 2 more with their eggs slit.
I understand the babies may not have an appetite straight away, but I can't get any of them to eat. I have a small dish of finely chopped veg for them, which they aren't interested in. I keep trying to offer crickets to them also.
How am I meant to go about feeding them and how long should it be before I get worried? The first one hatched fully a little over a day ago and non of the fully hatched ones have their egg sack left.
I've tried having a little cricket on the end of my finger and trying to tempt each of them with it. I have also tried putting a box in front of them with 5 - 6 crickets in. No luck
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
