    Anything special for little guys?
    So I ended up having twin honeybees this season. My only concern is that they are really small. So far my plan is to feed them an ASF pinkie, but am wondering if there is anything else I need to do or look out for. Other than size they look great. They are both in this pic but one is buried with its siblings.

    How much do they weigh? Ive heard of hatchlings as small as 25 grams surviving and thriving just fine.

    I haven't weighed them yet. I was waiting for them to shed before I did.

    If they're around 30 grams, you can give them a mouse or asf fuzzy. They usually do just fine, but if they don't start feeding quickly, be prompt about assist-feeding.

    I'd take care of them as usual, paying a little more attention to the little ones and feeding accordingly to size.

    Just a fun fact...some guy on Fauna posted 2 weeks ago when he hatched a 10 gram baby. Still waiting to hear if it made it...
