SO, Fox Valley is on it's way. Little 6-7 week old 3 oz Eastern Grey needs a diet that isn't going to bust me in the interim.
She LOVES yougurt (all natural stuff that they sell to the hippies). I picked the one with the highest fat/protein content.
She likes Esbilac, too, but won't do a bottle or eyedropper. She'll drink it out of a bowl, but last time she was coughing and sneezing and I'm sure she's going to wind up with that crap all over her insides as well as her outsides.
She likes broccoli quite a bit, too.
Yogurt/FV was recommended, but FV isn't here yet (Tuesday, presumably). So, I tried just yogurt (Brown Cow vanilla) and she doesn't breathe it, that's nice. I've got to take pictures, however, because she winds up getting it ALL OVER.
What's good, somewhat cost effective (I was just looking at the powdered stuff they sell for $20+ that I'm not going to use much of) that I can add to the yogurt to round out her diet?
Is it ok to feed yogurt like this? How much is too much? Should I let her regulate her diet, or should I limit how much of <anything> she gets? There is a ton of liquid in the yogurt, should I drain it? Should I let her wean herself if that's what she wants? Are all of these questions answered in another thread (I did search, but the results didn't really answer my questions)?
Thanks a TON!
