How long before hatchling panter chameleons show an interest in food?

I have 2 with one out of the egg 2 days and the other 1 day. I put a small cup of fruit flies near them and I am seeing no interest.
 
We usually start to see hatchlings eat around the 3rd to 4th day. Once they start they are little eating machines!


Thanks!! So I have over another 32 hours or more before I have anything to really worry about. When I walk over I can see their eye's rotate and look at me to they are definitely alert. They are probably a little behind do to me leaving them in the cool cup for a while like instructed. It looks like another one will be out of the egg today also. I'll be able to see if he gets with the program sooner. Should I be dusting the first flies or leave them undusted until they get going since the dust makes them blend in with the paper towels and I have had animals that don't like dusted bugs as much.

I was going to do zoomed calcium no D3 for most days and rotate a feeding of rep-cal w/d3 and herptivite on opposite weeks.
