    In November I had two hatchlings that took almost a week before starting too eat. The first thing that they ate was blood worms. I have a new hatchling, it has been five days since he hatched and I still can’t get him to eat. I was wondering what else I could get him started eating with. I have tried blood worms and pinhead crickets but no luck so far. I am so too worried about him, he is still very strong. But I have 32 eggs that should be hatching in less than a month and I need as many different ideas for starter food, that I can find. Thanks Jonathan

    Try a very small earthworm. So far all of mine have started with bloodworms. Sometimes it takes a few days for them to get hungry. Vickie
