Re: ??

Nope, they need small live food such as daphnia, Moina, baby brine shrimp, microworms etc The link is to using baby brine shrimp, your hatchlings will be absorbing their eggs sacks for up to 48 hours, then they need food or they starve. If you want to use baby brine shrimp you need to order eggs asap, chuck the larvae in the fridge to slow their metabolism down. Alternatively go to a pond and scoop the daphnia out with a fine mesh net, watch out for predatory bugs.

You can also get daphnia and banana worms ect off ebay if there is no local pet stores that stock them
