Just hatched a pair of T+ childreni twins which are the smallest hatchies Ive ever dealt with. Each one was under 4 grams. Its going to be fun trying to get these two to start eating. Might start with pinkie drumsticks

best of luck mate. They are lovely little animals!!
 
Ive had childreni at 5 grams Steve , all took new born pinkies no probs...

Nice little T's too ...
 
Yeah Ive had 6 gram hatchies before starting on new born pinkies. These ones just feel so much smaller. Both escaped out of the slitherin hatchy rack within the first hour, so i had to tape up the existing holes and burn new pin sized holes into the tubs

They do look tiny mate ... good old slitherin hey , at least you did not chop their heads off in it lol
 
Congrats Steve. No way will I put any hatchling ants into slytherin tubs.

Fay Ive been using the slitherin rack for about 5 years now and apart from mis-use all has worked well. You just have to make sure the tubs are pushed in all the way and they wont get out (except for these 4 gram hatchies) and be careful opening tubs. Ive killed two hatchies (in well over 300) by decapitation or crushing the head when opening the tubs

Very pretty hatchies. I had a 4gram childreni a few years ago, started fine on the smallest of pinkie mice.
 
They are absolutely tiny!! All the best with the feeding, I wonder how long it'll take until they can manage whole pinkies hehe so cute!
