how did you start them with the gruel? You said that it started watery. DId you put them near the bowl and dip your finger in it to try to encourage them to lap? When do you make it soupy? Then Thick? Sorry, but I have no idea  |
Joy,
The first three days I wanted to make sure they were each eating, so I fed them individually. I put 10cc of very watery gruel in a syring and just held them and squirted the gruel near their mouths but in my hand. Only two needed to have "turtoring" and the other picked up on the food very well. The two that had trouble I just gave them an extra feeding a day so they got a little more practice. They are now all at the dish and gobbling up the soupy gruel. They are so cute, but get very messy. I will start to thicken when they are 5 weeks.
Hopes this helps.....have fun feeding!
