What are acceptable initial food sources for tiny neonates or juveniles born around 3 cm long?

Flightless fruit flies, Bean beetles, Pinhead crickets

Hatchlings, or neonates, of the Yellow-spotted Night Lizard have specialized dietary needs reflecting their tiny size, often being born only about 3 cm long. To ensure they receive necessary nutrients without being physically overwhelmed by larger prey items, their initial diet must consist of the smallest available food sources. Acceptable introductory foods explicitly mentioned include Flightless fruit flies (*Drosophilia sp*), Bean beetles (*Callosobruchus maculatus*), and Pinhead crickets. As these young lizards mature, keepers must gradually expand their prey acceptance to match the robust adult diet, while simultaneously adjusting the frequency of feeding based on their growth rate and consumption.
