I have 2 babies about 7 weeks old, the smaller one sometimes does not want to eat well but yesterday it ate real well and today it doesn't want formula. I have had them a week now and this one has sneezed a few times but I don't hear any clicking at all only an occasional sneeze and I noticed while trying to feed her today she wants to hide and acts scared. I have been feeding them in the same place the same way. The other one is eating well and this one was eating ok but now doesn't want to eat at all and acts scared. I wrap it in a cloth and it still doesn't want to eat. Could this just be a cold or does it need antibiotics? No discharge out of nose and I am keeping them in a heated room on a heat pad. This morning she did nibble on a rodent block and a pice of butternut squash.

I switched them to FoxValley from Esbilac 2 days ago. The little one ate so well yesterday and today completely refuses to eat. She is sleeping more than usual and to me it seems like she shivers and is cold. She is in a heated room with the heat pad on low below her enclosure which is a small pet carrier. I don't hear any clicking noises that would suggest pneumonia. She has sneezed a couple times but that is all.
