I recently got a red foot hatchling. It is young (still had a bit of the egg sac) and I was wondering about food. I had it on moist paper towels and this morning the last little piece had come off. Now its belly looks like its closing up nicely.
The first 24 it ate nothing...but I expected that. The next day it ate a small piece of dandelion. The next it ate a little more and I offered it zucchini and banana. It didn't go for it...at first but the it ate all three. Now I'm just offering the zucchini and dandelion and the little one seems to be developing an appetite.
Any advice on food? And what about protein? I've read conflicting info on it.
Any help appreciated!
