Baby vitticeps eating???

[reptile_keeper_luke]

Hey everyone

I've got my first clutch of eggs hatching and was wondering if anyone could tell me when I should feed them for the first time?

 

[black_headed_mon]

u can feed them straight away,small feeds 2-3 times a day(pinheads).also make sure u keep them hydrated they dehydrate quickly,that's what i do and i've never had a problem b4.hope this helps and good luck with your babies

Thanks mate, I'll give that a shot
yeah I've been spraying them every now and again..

Thanks you

Dandelion flower petals, baby clover, pin heads, baby roaches. Make sure all insects are no bigger than the width between the dragons eyes, esp crickets (stick with pin heads not smalls) roaches are better to feed as they are softer. ALWAYS have food on offer all day long.

Is it normal that they don't seem interested in their greens in the first few days after hatching? They are only eating the insects atm.

Very normal, you would be very lucky to get them to eat greens in the first couple of weeks.

Wrong

They should be eating greens by day three. Depending on how you have them set up and what greens your offering will determine how quickly they eat them, whilst they much prefer insects (at any age) they will certainly eat greens within their first week, esp flower petals. If they are stressed or not set up 100% this will be delayed.

It is from my observation only

HERE IS A PIC
This is just one of them, we are just starting to take them out for some natural UV light
They are nearly three weeks so hoping they brighten up nice and red like their parents

Parents are Rick walker reds, this is our first breeding season and the babies are absolutely gorgeous.
Also have 20 or so more eggs and now have a gravid Eastern Bearded dragon, so its great for me and the girlfriend
