This is my first crestie hatchling Gabriel. He ( not pos but call him a he,lol) is 7 months old and weighs in at a whoppong 12 grams. His sister hatched a day later and she is at 29 grams. Gabe has been to an exotics vet and she said other then being tiny, he appears normal. He eats Raposhy CGD every night and he gets small crickets dusted with the calcium plus every other night. I tried moving him from his critter keeper to a "big boy " tank ( a 12X12X12 viv) but he stopped eating so I had to put him back in. He is kept at 75-76 degrees in day and 68-69 at night. His humidity stays about 60-65 %. He is just doomed to be a teeny I guess.

I know what ya mean. I am hoping that Gabe decides to grow. They do seem fragile being so small. omg yours is adorable. How old is he? that reminds me of Gabe when he first hatched. He was 1.5 grams

wow look at its chubby legs! Do you happen to have better pics of it? DId you get x-rays of him? Although he is cute, it looks like he has a pinched neck and slight spine curve and with thos echubby legs it screams MBD, but it simply could be the pic because they are pretty blurry. Can we see more?

I think the guy said around 4 months, however im getting a specifc hatch date from him when he gets back home today. But he/she is still so small! She finally ate a locust for me today, seems only big enough for one in her stomach! haaa. I haven't weighed her yet, Just want to let her settle in.
