How long do you guys normally wait before offering a first meal to a hatchling BP? I’ve seen some people saying to wait until a week after first shed, which puts the first feed at about 3 weeks after hatching? If there is already a thread on this, i’d be grateful for a link (i did search but found nothing).

Thanks guys!

A week after shed is my go too usually. It takes them time to absorb the yolk fully… you can offer sooner if you want but they may not eat in my experience
