The Babies!
We have 18 babies now! All are in the new vivarium. Just 3 eggs remain out of this batch, but I’m hoping that they will still hatch, just being a bit lazy. For Fi’s first clutch, and our first attempt at breeding though I’m not too upset at getting 18 even if we don’t get the full 21!
They had their first real feed of crickets today - they had the hunting instinct, but weren’t too accurate at first, sometimes missing the crix they lunged for. They got the hang of it quickly though - even the one who turned tail and fled when a cricket ran after it!
When I went to get the crickets I found a pet shop wants to buy the whole lot off of me - I’m not too sure of them though, as I’ve seen them selling babies as young as 2 weeks, and I certainly don’t want mine to be sold that young. I’ll be keeping them for a lot longer, and want to make sure that they go to the best of homes.
Here are some pictures of the babies in the vivarium:
