Redfoot hatching now :)

[gustaf]

How long before the neonate/hatchling redfoot needs UV light?
At the monent he is still in the incubator burrowed down all cozy like in moist sphagnum moss. I offered it some chopped up greens today. Not sure if it ate or just walked through its food and drug it around. I have the temp set at 85.
I would imagine redfoots in the wild will hide away for quite a long time when they are babies without any exposure to UV light.

I had some hatch at 7 months once. And I just had one hatch at 90 days. Same incubator, same temperature….

I am so glad to hear this. I was getting worried when I had some at 4.5 months that hadn't hatched but look like they are progressing.

Oh, look how cute. Getting out of that shell is so tiring, had to take a nap!
