SFS question

[ConkerChild]

Hey guys. ^.^ Well, it looks like we've got some more SFS on our hands, and it's been a while since Petrie and Spike needed formula that it's slipped our mind of how much these guys need to eat. It looks like they've only just recently opened their eyes, so we're guessing about four weeks old? We've got them on Esbilac, but yeah, how much do these little fellows need to eat? :thinking

Best to feed by the 5% rule ie 5% of the body weight in grams = #cc's per feeding. A baby at 4 weeks should be being fed 5 or 6 times per day. Hope this helps :)

My flyers were taking around 1.5 cc at 4 weeks old, but like Mars said, use the 5% rule. I couldn't get mine to gain weight unless I fed them 6 times a day until they were 7 weeks old, then they FINALLY started to eat a little on their own and I gain weight with just 4 feedings a day.

Good luck with them!

The wee ones will be eating good tonight. ^_^
