Are they supposed to hatch out soo slow? Its been 6 hours and the 4th one is only just starting to hatch.

well it was really hot in my house and the container was humid so they all hatched out at once. Took only 5 minutes for them to all hatch out. 2 were crippled and they died :(

 
Yeah i've just raised it abit and put in a damp sponge on the bottom over the heat mat to raise humidity, i've now got 2 out and running in the large container and 2 stull hanging one has been there almost a whole day now :shock: i think it might die :shock:

if they've been in there for two days they probably have dried up by now so they will remain in that position till death.

 
mine won't eat either! (yet) luckily they aren't eating themselves though! :)
Don't worry man, I had the same problem. After the 5th day the gambians started to eat like crazy.

 
My Gambians hatched out over a period of two days and they didn't eat for a week (some a little sooner). I worried but they seem to be thriving. They're hilarious to watch. :)

YEAH! They're greedy too. When one of my gambians see another eating, it will attack it.

 
Mine just atack each other when they get to close to each other, reminds me of me grandbabies, they are always jumping on each other, like a couple of monkeys ha ha ha ... stinkin babies :lol:

That's me and my little brother.

 
yay they finally molted today! I can't tell the size difference.

 
Mine hatched out 8 while it was shipping to me, I'm guessing they hatched a day before, possibly sooner. But the little guys took food as soon as I gave it to them, they're all eating and running around like little nutjobs.

So far there's been no figthing, and they're all plumb and fat. I just hope they all molt right.

(My first try only got me two, both died within days, pretty sad over that.)
