Getting hatchling to eat?

[Rob123]

It's been 2 weeks now since my crestie hatched and I still can't get him to eat the CGD. I think he dosnt know it's food. How can I get him to start eating?

So there is no signs of poop in the cage?

Some things to consider is size of the cage. I am keeping mine in the small kritter keepers and am using souffle lids for the food dishes and I have poop all over the tanks in that set up, even though I can not see that the crestie is eating.

Nope no poop!

what are you housing it in?

easy way to show it's food is, finger feed,put a dot on your finger and put it on it's nose it'll lap it up, and then slowly move it towards the food dish and it'll lap it up from there, sometimes they need to be led to it,
