Question for leo breeders

I just had my first baby leo hatch today. How long should I wait before I feed it? A week? a few days?

thanks!

I usually put a dish of mealies by day 3, sooner if I see a shed starting before then. They normally will start eating when they have their first shed on or around day 3 but you may miss it if they shed during the night so I put them in on day 3 even if I don't see them starting to shed.

I put a water dish in on day 1 and mist them 3 times a day for a few weeks.

Good Advice - I agree!

ok, thanks!!
I can't wait until the eggs all hatch!!!
When I went to look at the eggs I was shocked to see that baby. After constantly checking and finding bad eggs, it was a nice surprise.

Isn't it wonderful? After about 3-4 days like Wendy said, if i haven't noticed a shed i throw in a couple worms. Not crickets, they can be bothersome. Worms tend to leave the leos alone They will eat them after they shed, but the first shed CAN last up to a full week before they shed it! I think mine shed on the 4th day. They live off their yolk sac until then. Yum yum

I can happen. Mine shed anywhere from 1-4 days after hatching, most right about 2 or 3
