I feed babies in the enclosure for the first few days. Often times I have the set-up very simple for brand new babies; some moist paper towls and a few hides. I will admit that I leave crickets in the cage with the tegus, I also make sure that there is food and water for the crickets so that they have something else to nom on. Keep in mind they absorb the egg yoke when they are in the egg and may not eat for a few days to a week after hatching. In the wild they would use this time to hide under things until they get accustom to using there legs and what not.

How are you feeding them? in a bin in the enclosure?
How often and how long?
