feed the momma, and some may crawl down and help eat her meal. or just wait a few days until the babies wander off from the mom (then they'll start eating each other... or you could separate them and find a supplier for flightless fruit flies or pinhead crickets)

Frozen fruit flies, sprinkled liberally or tweezer fed. You can keep the babies together for awhile if they are well fed, I just sprinkle a bunch of fruit flies in the tub. Or if I separate, I tweezer feed them because it's just one fly and sometimes they can't find it. Some bigger ones will take pinheads right away though. You know what species?

All the above are good suggestions! You can also use cut up pieces of mealworms or any portions of prey
