Its been a couple days now and mine are still not interested in the crix or their greens. Well I actually had 1 baby right out of the incubator that grabbed a cricket and ate it but the other 17 are still not interested.

I don't have any experience with hatchlings, but I thought I read recently that they start eating within 3-4 days or up to a week.

Well I didnt even introduce crickets to them for a few days. after about a day or two out of the incubator i started giving them greens and a day or so after that I would introduce crickets and they took right to them. Once one of them starts to eat them and the others see him/her eating them they will catch right on.

good luck

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
