My convicts just had eggs and the babies are grazing above the tank for about an hour a day. I don't know if they ate there yolk sak yet.I only see about 3 of them every day. Is this the right time to start feeding them

i have also used egg yolk! boil an egg and then press the hard yolk in a cloth until it comes through! dip the yolk into the tank to make a cloud of protein. they should enjoy this as it is easier for them to take than solid or live foods which may take too much energy to eat! I use egg yolk with all my fry and it is a great success. hope this helps!!!!!
