Ok, so my larvae have all officially hatched and the seem to be developing. Here's a pic:
My problem is, I'm not sure if they are eating. I have a healthy culture of microworms and I dab a few in front of each one once a day. I read in the "raising newts from eggs" article that they will "hop" for food when they first begin eating. I don't really see them hop, they swim, but it looks like they are just trying to get away from the agitation of little worms swimming on them. Some have only been hatched for a few days, others for a week or more. I'm doing daily water changes and they seem healthy. Maybe I'm overthinking and this is really what they are doing, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
