Lethargic Hatchlings

Hi - I have three BD's that hatched 5 weeks ago. They don't seem to be growing and one of them is very skinny and lethargic. They all don't seem to want crickets anymore and are getting plenty of water. I started feeding them with an eye dropper and watered down baby food - strained turkey and green beans. Is this ok to do? They are taking all it fine.

Re: Lethargic Hatchlings

Give us some more information about how you are keeping them. Cage, substrate, temps, humidity, lights, uvb, ect?

They are in a small aquarium on paper towels that are changed everyday. I mist them and also will put them in a small amount of water as a bath about every third day.

Oh, yes, they have both uv and a under tank heater.

Re: Lethargic Hatchlings

But what are the temps in the tank. Is it a 10 gl tank? Also is the light UVB?
