 Baby question

So far only two of my eggs have hatched. they came out on Friday the 18th. As of right now I am not sure if they are eating their greens or not. The seem ok, and I have seen one of them sitting in the water a couple of times. My question is, even if I am not sure if they are eating their greens or not, how long should I wait before starting on the crickets?

Thank you very much,
OX

Now. Yes greens are important but they need the crickets or other feed much more at this stage of life. -Jay

Thanks, Every thing I have seen said to feed them the veggies first so they wouldn’t be so reluctant to eat them in the future. I will start the crix in the morning, as they are both asleep right now. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t waiting too long before starting them.

Thanks again,

We start greens as soon as they are in the cage, and crickets about 3-4 days old. -Jay

Thanks, they have been on the greens, and I change it 2X a day because the small pieces dry out so fast. they will be 4 days tomorrow.
Thanks

Ok then your in good shape. They are still running off the yoke at this point so, ease the food in until they start pounding them down. -Jay
