As for your babies-they are past the age where they need to be bottle fed. They can be started on gruel or mush or whatever some want to call it. Here is what I do--I use Royal Canine Baby kibble (it is new and I used the puppy food before that)..I put it in a plastic bag and beat it with a hammer to make a really coarse meal. I use Pedigree canned lamb and rice puppy food, a little formula and some yogurt or cottage cheese. Make the mixture soupy and make sure you feed them with really warm food. Start by sticking the tip of your finger in the food and then into their mouth. They will soon learn to eat from a baby spoon OR set the flat plate of food on something that will raise it about an inch off the floor. They do less walking thru it that way and can eat it easier. I stick the plate on the chin of each baby and let them get the smell of the food. IF they are not eating as much as you think, and BTW, they might eat only a teaspoon 3-4 times a day, add some NurtiStat to the mix. You can make the mixture thin enough to syringe feed them if needed..
