Congratulations Britney: You can try feeding your baby fence lizards little grasshoppers, tiny beetles, small crickets and black or red ants. Try a few out and see what they prefer.
When it comes to the environment, baby fence lizards need a heat rock and especially an incandescent light because they love to bath in the sun. You may also want to put another rock (not heated) and some branches in the tank for them to relax on when they don鈥檛 want the extra heat.
On the bottom of the tank you can put sand, some fake grass (AstroTurf) and a very shallow water dish (like an ash tray) for the babies to cool off in. Just make sure the water is shallow enough that the babies can walk through it and get out easily. I also heard that it is good to mist the inside of the tank 3-4 times a day with a water bottle.
Just watch them鈥ee what they like and cater to their needs. Best to you!
The mother should not eat them that's normally the fathers or other males. Buy some tiny crickets at a pet store and stick a few in at a time. If you put too much crickets in at one time they might eat the baby lizards. That has happened to me before.
Congratulations Grandma!
