How long do horrida assasin nymphs wait to start eating?

I’ve had some that have been hatched for three days and haven’t wanted to eat. Is this normal?

Is the prey adequately small? They can go a rather long time without feeding, so there shouldn’t be cause for concern yet

i’ve tried small dubia, small dermestid beetle larva, buffalo beetle worms, and the head of a mealworm

I hatch my Horrida in a separate tub to my adult colony and have a lot of springtails in the tub which I find they feed on immediately as when I take the fresh hatchlings out which I do once a week they're always very plump so it works very well and once I move them into rearing containers I feed new hatched runners dubias or lobsters which they take with enthusiasm tho after a couple of weeks they prefer slightly bigger prey
