AAAAAHHHH what do i do now?!?!?!
Do i have to seperate them up?
 
You don't have to seperate until they start developing their front legs, which is a couple weeks away. They won't need to eat for 24-36 hours. Do you have their food ready? ie, hatched brine shrimp, small daphnia, etc.
How many do you have?
 
20 have hatched but theres still about 30 in the eggs. I got frozen brine shrimp?
 
That's okay, they all take different times to hatch. I find they all hatch within at the most 48 hours.
Frozen brine shrimp...I don't know if that'll work. The babies eat food by movement response, so they may not eat it because it's dead. It might also be too big for their little mouths. I've always used live freshly hatched brine shrimp for mine.
 
Is that the brine shrimp u get in the bags at the pet store?
 
No, those are adult brine shrimp, too large for the babies' little mouths.
People usually hatch their own. You can buy eggs at pretty much any pet store, Pet Supplies Plus is where I get mine.
Here's a pretty good demonstration on how to hatch them: http://www.caudata.org/forum/f1173-...rine-shrimp-hatching-harvesting-tutorial.html
If you need more info, there's dozens of how-to sites [google is your friend]
