What a sweet little morning I have had!! I woke up to the tinest little poop EVER (like the size of 2 small peas)... I said awwwwww.... (to poop!!! )
I then picked my whittle guy up and placed it in its feeding cage (a small rubbermaid for now) Baby ate about 6 crickets and then seemed no longer interested... I HOPE THATS OKAY as I've heard that they normally eat 30!! anyways... I put baby in my hand and misted her/him... Baby then licked my hand!! ... After allowing it to bask for awhile (hour) I placed it outside in the tupperware container to get some sun!! Played with it too!! Little one ALWAYS backs up on my hand and looks straight at me when I pick it up!!! Also waves and wags its tail (I think its shedding) anyways guys... I AM IN BEARDIE HEAVEN!! I only wish I could have had Lucy from a baby now ... But I truly feel that I deserve this baby!!!! I am hoping one of you has a baby this tiny!! Maybe we can share stories together?! I DO have a few questions just cause I am a silly, paranoid person!! Thanks in advance!!...
1) should I try to feed Baby again later (crikets), or should I give a few more days of settling with just once a day trying? I am going to offer some greens, but so far... no good!!
2) how often do I want to handle it? S/he seems okay with it but how much is too much? Stress is not something I wish in inflict...
3) misting... how often?
4) bathing? when? how old?
5) how much sun does my baby need a day (or a week?) to get the UVB its not receiving (megaray hasnt come yet...??) ~ THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT QUESTION!! I think Lucys biggest trouble was the lack of UVB that her owners never gave her...
6) do hatchlings move much? this little one doesnt too much unless its trying to get a cricket or get from point A to point B... Could it just be relocation stress?
7) lastly... from the pics... does it look like a healthy babe? I looked it over very carefully when picking it... I just thought I could ask here (mind you, I know its only a pic)
THANK YOU!!
I am going to re read the care sheets after this post to be sure I havnt missed anything crucial!!

AAAWWW!! It's soooo cute!!!!!

I love it. Was reading your last thread and you definately deserve this baby. You did everything you could for Lucy, you loved her and more importantly you knew when to call it a day and let someone with more experience take over.

You were thinking of Lucy & not yourself because it would have been much easier to carry on with her than give her up.

Good luck with your baby!!

SWEET baby!

You can offer bugs 2-3x day for a baby. Don't expect your bd to eat the full amount at first due to relocation stress.

You can mist a couple x's a day. Bathe anytime. Zak came in the mail and went straight to a bath, per breeder's instructions. :shock: :wink: :lol:

You might want to ask the uvb/sunlight question on health since its probably buried on this thread.

Don't worry about the activity level as there is some adjustment and then some are just lazier than others.

I kept handling to a minimum for the first several days to a week--but I handled regularly to move to feeding bucket, bath, misting. So, he got handling just in brief amounts. This balance seemed to work well . . .??

Congrats on the new baby
