Be "very" carefull with the fruit & veg for the first 3-4 months plus DON'T forget your Calcium / D3 supplements. ~B~
 
I like Nautre's Gift products for my young blueys.

If I'm only feeding a couple of newborns I use this

and I add calcium powder and Wombaroo.

If I'm feeding multiple litters, I like their canned stuff.

again I add calcium and Wombaroo to the mix.

There are many foods and insects which can be fed to young blueys, but the most important thing is to feed them every day in the first 3 months. 3-6 months of age feed every second day, it'll be winter by then and most will slow down on the tucker even if kept at summer like temperatures. The quickest way to MBD and sunken backs is infrequent feeding, especially when young. This is assuming you have their temperature requirements met in their enclosure.

A lot of the large breeders in the US are tending not to feed meals with a high % of veges in the first year as there is some evidence it leads to scale deformity. Therefore it's best to err on the side of caution and go for tucker that is high in protein.
