newly born hatchlings feeding .....

[Static]

I have five newly born hatchlings and was wondering on how I should go about feeding them, what should I give the for greens and what would be better silk worms or crickets, or should I do both juust with silk worms sparingly.and how do I get them to start eating

I also have hatchlings that are not eating. They are 4 days old. I have small crickets and phoenix worms. I have 10 babies so far and another 4 that I expect to hatch in the next day or two. I have offered the crickets and worms on several occasions (not leaving them with the babies) and I have also put minced turnip greens in their enclosure, but none have eaten anything.

Here's a site that shows the best greens to feed: http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html
Make sure the greens are cut up into little tiny pieces and mist the greens to help keep them fresh. The best greens/veggies are in green print on that page.

Glad I could help. Yes, it's a good idea placing fresh greens in with them daily because one day they will start nibbling on them.
