Just typed a huge reply and don't know where it went. Anyway (and hope I'm not duplicating) as I was saying, he's not good on Mom. Wasn't staying on her and won't fight for position. Too little or weak. He's better now if I'm supervising. I think he's a preemie. Last one formed, first one born as others pushed him out. I try to get him to eat all kinds of things, but he all about baby cereal if you pretty much force the issue. Can't get him to drink water which worries me. I might try a drop of Karo in the water and a tiny syring, if he won't lap on his own. He still stays with Mom and the litter and so far he surely must be getting something from Mom or he would have dehydrated by now, although there is 'moisture' in the formula the baby cereal is made with. Just weighed him and he's 15 oz. which is a first.
