[wout1977]

with what do you start feeding your new hatchling?
and when do you introduce other stuff?
do you laeve a little cup with maelies in all the time?

i start with small maelies en small crickets, these grow with the hatchlings?

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.

Ditto what Paul said, only I do give appropriate-sized dusted crickets every week to all my geckos.
