Hello,

Last week i posted about my 4 new pinkies who were probably no more then 2 days old. The two runts of the litter worried me because they weren't as active as the two bigger babies. On Friday morning I woke up to 4 healthy active babies who ate their full dosage, and all went potty with healthy looking poo( SORRY TMI). Well when i went back for their 2nd feeding two hours later the boy runt of the litter had passed. I'm not really sure what took his life because he seemed so healthy and showed no signs of illness. I just think it was a natural cause, and mother nature herself. =( i have been pretty upset thats why i waited to post because i was scared of other's comments. I really tried my hardest to keep all of them alive, and healthy. But to brighten up the story the other 3 are still happy and healthy! They are so active that feeding time, and potty time are becoming a struggle lol because they do not want to sit still. I'm pretty confident that these 3 will make it to the release day i got over the hardest hump with them. Now its time to give these babies names! Below is a picture of the little chubsters. I'll keep you guys update along this journey.

PS - Thank you Nancy for all you help!238526

They look so plumb and in great shape.
We never know what goes wrong when they
pass so young, it happens often, but you knew from
the start that two didn't look quite right.

I do know that it's crucial to keep their body temperature
up as they loose heat so fast. So while the pictures of their little
bodies is SO CUTE, it's better to have them in their heated
container with fleece around when you take these shots.:thumbsup

Thanks so much for the update, and picture........you KNOW we LOVE pictures! :grouphug
