hey, congratulations, I'll say what I do, I keep my hyatchlings in a 5 gallon with an undertank heater with vermiculite substrate(very fine vermiculite) 'I keep them in a room that is temp controlled at about 84 degrees in the day and about 79 at night. i feed my hatchlings Gut-loaded small crickets covered in repcal calcium supplement, but they won't probably eat until after their first shed, 5-7days, also keep a couple hiding places for them and a really shallow water dish

You probaly won't see them shed, I offer all my hatchling geckos food the second day after there hatched.

Good luck with the babies, always super cool to hatch your first babies!!
