Normally they don't eat until their first real shed, which is usually around 2-4 days. Some do eat sooner than that, and some take a week or more before they eat. It depends on how much yolk was absorbed just before hatching. I find that the ones who have 'yolk residue' left in the shell will eat sooner than the ones who have none of it left behind. If they've absorbed all or most of it, they're full for a few days, if it's left in the shell, they have an empty tummy and will be hungry sooner. And again, that's not a rule written in stone either, it's a guideline. I offer them food on the second day - just one or two items to see if they go for it.
Can't wait for the pics.
