You big copy cat. You got all that in before I could. LOL . I went to church this morning and had to cut my last post short. IMHO I will supplement the big ones- mt thoughts are that the little ones need the real stuf.
I use the goats milk whole until they get a little older like 4 weeks. The goats milk seems to have a higher surgar content so kids may be on a bit of a sugar high. Like feeding your own candy. But will not hurt them unless you give too much of something else that has a lot of sugar.
I weigh mornning - noon and nite to see if I am seeing a increase in weight no matter how slight. kepp a record. Some puppies like to eat more in the afternoon or eveving and I will adjust for them.
Good luck
