i have babies

my female jackson just gave birth to so far 9 live, 1dead, 3 slugs,. what size cricket should they be eating. i have large pinheads and i get them every week so do i need to go smaller or are they fine. i also have fruitflies and small silkworms

Jackson's need very small prey items when young, as they choke easily. I would advise you to feed them fruit flies and silkworms (if they are very small), until you can order dust pins.

i found 3 more this morning. i order crickets every week so i'll them this weekend and until then they will eat fruitflies

Pinheads or 10 day olds are a small enough cricket for them. If you have 2 aquiriums i would split them up so you can monitor how much they eat better.

what are slugs?

slugs are infertile eggs. i'll try to get some pics to post tonight. the pinheads i order are 1/8in crickets that i am feeding to the pygmy chameleon and small veileds i have. i was thinking about spliting them into 3 groups of four to help monitor them. i'm just glad i found these little guys they were all over the place and some managed to get out of the cage because the cage i had the mother in had 1/2in wire with screen wrapped around the sides and bottom. the mother has been sunnning herself this morning and the crickets i gave her were gone so hopefully she will be fine
