Urgent help with new baby blueys

OMG! I just got home and found our 2 blue tongues had become 6 blue tongues! I had no idea, just thought she was fat...
What do ya feed baby blueys? same as adults just cut up smaller? Are the adults a threat? Should I separate the babies from the adults.
I'll have more questions so if anyone can think of something I should know please tell me.
I'll post some photos shortly.

ok, seperate. but, i wouldnt be suprised if there were more to come. our bluey had 17 her first time. so give them some space adn just take teh babies out as they come.
give the babies till tomorrow before you feed them. and its the same as teh adults, only cut everything up tiny. as the babys get bigger, seperate some of them othewise thats how tails get lost. if u need anymore help pls pm me. good luck and congrats./

Separate the babies from the adults. They should be fine eating the same as the parents, just in smaller amounts/mouthfuls etc.

I think it's all over. She kicked the male up the other end of the enclosure while she was poppin'. They're snuggling together under a hide rock now. But 9 is a great result seeing we weren't expecting any!
