when to start feeding my hatchlings

Question
hi, i have just had my first clutch of leopard gecko eggs hatch and am unsure as to when i should start to feed them, i have bought some mini crickets and mealworms. the hatchlings are 1 day old. would much appreciate any advice.

Answer
Hi Ray, Congratulations on your hatchlings. It is so much fun to look in that egg container and see babies. It will be about 3 to 5 days before they eat. I don't even offer food until the third day after hatching. They will usually go through a shed shortly after hatching and some will eat before this and some not.
