The 2 ozer may or may not end up small. About 5 years ago now my Danielle had a litter of only two, a girl and a boy. The girl was barely 2 oz at birth. I gave her a few drops of glucose and put her on to nurse, every 90 minutes around the clock for just over a week. She kept going and then was able to do it on her own. She grew up to be a healthy 5 1/2 lbs and is doing great, now 5 years old.
