Hello I had one last litter that was like that, what I did was when momma was going to feed them I took the lil one to be fed alone with mom first and made sure she ate, I did this three or four times a day, and she is great we kept her and she weighs 3.5 pds and is still so sweet, Good luck

Everything has gone great, except, the last baby girl is the runt and it appears the Momma (Nella) doesn't want to feed her any longer. We have to hold Nella and basically make her sit still while this little one nurses. We are supplemental bottle feeding her, but she is so small relative to her brothers and sisters. When all of them are eating Nella doesn't seem to have a problem, but this little one, of course, gets pushed out of the way and therefore can't eat. If anyone has any ideas for me, let me know. I don't wanna lose this precious little girl. If you'll look at the attached pictures. You'll see how tiny she is. |
