Hi!
I need your help:
They're coming from the egg. How to care them in the first time.
Thank you for your answers.

Leave them in the egg until they exit on their own. Once fully out give them a good soak in warm water and pop them in a closed chamber set-up with UV, heat, and food as you would an adult.

Put the babies in a plastic container with a wet paper towel underneath them and some different types of leaves for food and keep them warm and humid in there for 7 - 10 days until they absorb their yolk sac.

Thank you for your answers.
Another question is: The indoor area is big. They have egg laying hill, I accidentally saw the egg laying in the,bush. How can I get them to come to the egg laying hill? So I can not find more nest.
