Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions
He's not doing much, but I'm not expecting him to of course. Do you think the vermiculite on his yolk sac will be an issue?

No, I'd leave it alone. (If you sprayed a tiny stream of water to wash it off, you could, but I think that would scare him, & his panic reaction could prove fatal- he could pull himself open.)
Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions
Okay, thanks. I already did put him in a little warm water this morning, do you think he'll have issues from that? He didn't really doo much, just sat there.

Who knows? Wait & see & hope.
Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions
Alright, thank you! Man, I’m worried. I know there’s nothing more I can do, but still. When should he start eating? 3 days after hatching or 3 days after the yolk is finished?

Not until well after the yolk detaches. Don't offer until then either- if you normally offer 3 days after hatching, my guess would be to wait until 3 days after yolk detaches. See? Always patience-;)
Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions
Great, thanks! Last night I checked on him and the yolk was smaller and was detached. I took it out and replaced the bloody paper towels. He did survive the night, so hopefully he can do that 2 more times before he starts eating live food.
