Congratulations on a beautiful litter! Look how precious momma is protecting her babies, all curled up around them! My babies usually run 2.5 - 4 oz.....I just watch the smaller ones very closely.....but if I get the least bit concerned about skin turgor, dehydration, activity level, overall appearance, I tube feed that little one.....just supplement what it is able to get from mom....you want it to get stronger and develop a good sucking reflex and not tire out while nursing, so I will only tube feed twice a day...once early morning, once again at night......but I dont do it often enough to discourage it from nursing....1cc/oz at a feeding. |
