Hello everyone, I recently hatched my first two leopard geckos and I want to know how to raise them as effectively as possible. I have put the two in seperate 6 quart containers with a paper towel roll, a small water dish, and some calcium on the paper towel. Is there anything else that I can do. I also just went to pet smart and picked up some small crickets. I have read that you don't feed the leopard gecko until its first shed and I want to know if that is true. When can I start feeding the gecko aswell. Thanks.

Yes, feed after the first shed. Here's an article I wrote about caring for hatchlings:

The long wait is over! There, in the incubator (or sometimes in the parent enclosure), is a gecko hatchling! All too often, the new breeder's next thought is “now what?” Although the question should have been answered long before the first egg was laid, this article can serve as a general guide...
