Do you think it is an issue of mom not producing quite enough milk? Her last litter there were two and they gained weight like crazy in the first week, definitely doubling in seven days.
Not sure how many are in this litter....it could be that they aren't getting the equal amount of nursing time....Even with supplementing, maybe you should let the ones that aren't gaining as readily nurse first and then put the others that are on a bit later.....

How many meals are day and what are you feeding your dam?
