Here's 2 of Teddy.....the first is when we got him. He was about 4 weeks old. Their head looks huge at that age! The 2nd is a month later, still got the greasy look & big head. Hope it helps you!!

These babies are six weeks.

Wow, their heads really do look huge at 4 weeks!

Penny was about 9 to 9 1/2 weeks when i got her, so I'm no help. But cute pics! :)

[jvillereptile]

here is my new baby. shes about 7 weeks. she weighed 28 grams last week when i got her. which was the same as my last baby at 6 weeks old

[chrissy.hpr]

mine looks like a mix between a 4 week old and a six week old.
seems like she's not growing, maybe i just worried.
She wieghs like 15 grams right now.
i know she's under wieght, but she does not act like it, she eats a blue berry within 5 minutes, she scarfs everything down:)

i'm feeding her yogurt with her esbilac now.
i bought some strawberry yoplait yogurt today for her....is that ok?
it says it 99% fat free. and no sugar substitutes.

DO NOT give her fat free yogurt. She NEEDS the fat in the yogurt, and she's just going to fill up on something with fewer nutrients than she needs. Try to find the Dannon La Creme I mentioned to you before.

Also avoid anything that says Low Fat, No Fat, Light, Lite, etc.

She needs the fat. Dairy fat is good for babies.

You can use heavy whipping cream (in a carton by the milk--NOT Redi Whip or anything in a can) as it also contains a lot of dairy fat.

[Ardilla]

Dannon All Natural Plain Yogurt (NOT Non-Fat or Low Fat) is also ok.

The only problem is the container is large if you're feeding one little flyer and it'll start going bad before it's used up.

[chrissy.hpr]

ok.
the next time i'm in wal mart, i will look:)
thanks

i'm getting this cage.
it's a great deal.

[Legomom]

I feed Teddy & Christine Yoplait Original. (Not Fat-Free). They like it & I like that it has more calcium in it. :)

Total Fat - Grams 1.5
Cholesterol - mg 10
Sodium - mg 80
Potassium - mg 260
Total Carbohydrate - grams 33
Dietary Fiber - grams 0
Sugars - grams 27
Protein - grams 5

% DV Vitamin A 15
% DV Vitamin C 0
% DV Calcium 20
% DV Iron 0
% DV Vitamin D 20
% DV Phosphorus 15

Either one, in my opinion, is a good choice. Just stay away from Fat free, sugar-free, low-fat, low-sugar.....all of those phrases. (And, flavors are ok. Teddy gets bored after a few days, so I'll buy two or three flavors at a time & rotate them when he's decided he's had enough of one. :) (You can get Vanilla Creme in a single serving container if you want to keep the flavor simple for her.)

It would make a good starter cage..The height is good but he will need more room to move around as he gets older...

I have some pictures of my two @ 4 and 6 weeks... how do I post them?
:Welcome
Do you have a photobucket account? That's an easy and free way to share pictures. You can upload the photos there and copy/paste the IMG code here.

Somewhere there's another way. Let me go find it.

[Ardilla]

Shanon, I'll have to look for that kind. I had glanced at the Yoplait section and it seemed they were all Low Fat. :shakehead

Chrissy, I agree with TP, that'll make a good starter cage. :)

she now wieghs 17.6 grams; which is good since she only wieghed 15.2 grams on wenesday.
whats a healthy daily wieght gain for them at this age?

[muffinsquirrel]

Chrissie, the first link is to my photos. There are a lot of flyer pix there, but no ages given.

This second link is to NFSA, and shows pix of baby flyers by age. It's a great resource for guessing the age of babies.
