leo hatchlings

[ern79]

What do hatchling leos feed on? are they super small or can they feed on small crickets or does it have to be pinheads?
Also, how old are they generally before they are offered for sale?

hatchlings are generally about 3" in size; mine are all fed a mix of suitably sized crix, hoppers and mealies ~ food sizewise ... crix = small; hoppers = hatchling; mealies = mini; all food no bigger then the space between the leo's eyes.
I won't sell any of mine until they are at least 8 weeks old and weigh over 20g

that's a general guideline ~ there are occasions when hatchlings can be fed earlier then their first shed or poo
