I start all of my hatchlings on small mealworms. I usually put a little petri dish of them in as soon as I set the hatchlings up in shoeboxes, since a few of them will eat before their first shed. If they don't take to the mealworms, I throw a few on the floor of their tub because sometimes it seems like they're weary of the food dishes. If they won't eat mealworms within two weeks or so after hatching, I offer them small crickets but I leave the mealworms in there. Usually by the time the babies are about four weeks old, I'll upgrade them to medium mealworms. It all depends on how fast they grow.
