Need help!
My Indian star hatchlings are trying to eat damp paper napkins from their current house.
Number 1 hatched on 7th June on his own. He had a sack which is now absorbed completely.
Number 2 hatched yesterday with my assistance, he had shell membrane stuck on his eyes and sack. His sack is also absorbed a bit.
I have kept them both in boxes lined with damp paper towels. I soak them daily for 15 minutes, they drink water too and then apply Vaseline on the sack. My room temp varies between 25 C to 30 C. The outside precipitation is 80% however to make sure that its same in the hathcling house I spray it with water and make sure its not wet.
Issue : I have given them nicely shredded spinach, cucumber, coriander leaves and hibiscus leaves but they continue to eat paper towel. Please help.
