Feeding hatchlings

[froggybabe04]

I have 9 hatchlings...they are about two weeks old now, I was wondering if it was possible for them to over eat? Lol, I ask because they REALLY like to eat, a lot. We had one last night who looked just looked plump full stuffed. I am now wondering if it is possible for them to over eat? Any comments would be great!

not too sure about hatchlings...i feed mine whatever they will eat. my adults are another story, they will regurge if they eat too much

I have read about the adults not being fed to much, but I can't find anything about the hatchlings. Thank you!

Apparently it's best that they're practically swimming in food to start with. It seems logical as they're very fragile to start with and a lot of food will make them stronger faster. If they're not hungry they won't eat.

Mine are proper little fatties (when they finally started eating. Took long enough, lol).

That is almost the exact words I wanted to hear/see! Ok swimming in food they shall! they seem to be growing really well right now which is awesome and exciting! Thank you.

How big are yours now? My newborns(8 days old today) are ~ 1.5cm, and my juveniles ~6 weeks are 2" ^_^

Mine are 15 days old and between 2-2.5cm! I can see all their little arm stubbys.
