brendah, that picture of your little guy says it all. You'll likely be hand feeding him (at least on a supplemental basis) until he's old enough to eat. I had a litter back in November that had 1 tiny girl and 3 bigger brothers. I hand fed her for 5 weeks even though i gave her solo time on the teat. She just didn't get enough nursing and i think she used more energy nursing than any benefit she got from it. For a while I thought I might lose her but she slowly took root and started gaining. She's now 8 1/2 weeks, 18 ounces and feisty as can be. |
