Earliest youve had a hatchling eat?

Hey, just wondering the earliest youve ever had a hatchling take its first meal?
sent from my incubator

I have never fed before the first shed. After first shed they get their own enclosure and then I give them 2 days. Often hatchlings hit during first offer.

Long story short - 9 days out of the egg.

I agree with the above. Once their first shed I offered and 90% of the time they ate first try.

I don't know of anybody who has fed prior to first shed, but I'd say let them adjust a day or two after that initial shed because the fact they've never shed before. Also gives them a bit more time to clean out their system.

In general the day following their first shed which put them at 10/14 days.

Special cases before first shed at around 8 days.

A day or two after hatching...I normally wait until they shed though.

I normally wait until after the first shed as well. I did have one hatchling eat this year technically eat before the first shed. She was the only left in the clutch that had not shed. She seemed really interested so I tossed in a mouse. After I was done feeding everyone and went back to check and make sure everyone had eaten the mouse was gone and she had shed.

I've never tried before their first shed, mine usually eat 2 days after their first shed.
