So relieved for you that your hatchling is safely out. When my only hatchling arrived, he had absorbed his yolk sac too and then gobbled up all the clover I offered him. He hasn't stopped eating since!
Good luck with your new little one.

Always offer small amounts of food, as some still live off the absorbed egg sac, others eat small amounts straight away:0)

I used to use a plastic container lid as a water dish as the babies need to be able to get into it but not drown and a lid was about the only thing shallow enough.
