How to feed baby beardies

22 14:14:02

Question
I have just hatched my first clutch of eggs and have 11 little ones. They all seem healthy and are running around, however they are not feeding. I have been told to put veg in the viv and once they eat this then to try crickets. Mine are 4 days old but not touched any food.
What should I be doing? I'm worried that they may die if the don't eat soon.

Answer
They are still absorbing the yolk sac, but it should be any minute now.  I'd try the crickets to get them inetrested.  

REMEMBER!!!!  Baby dragons get baby crickets!!!  DO NOT feed them adult sized bugs; it can kill them.  The prey should be able to fit between their eyes if sitting sideways on the head.
