There is a chance that I might be able to get another baby....maybe 10 weeks or so, but has been raised by another person for a while... fed esbilac, which I have. Will this baby accept me for feeding? Will they be able to be put with another single baby that I have that is also about 11 weeks old? Thanks for any guidance.

I believe that I have gotten some together at that age. Go slowly and if you do try to put them together, I have found after a good formula feeding right before bed is a good time. They are too tired to fight and then they end up in a squirrel pile...:Love_Icon

Yes, if you introduce them in a "neutral territory". Use a different cage from what either one has been living in, so it's nobody's "turf". BUT, if you see that one is highly aggressive and the other cowers and hides for more than a few hours, it's probably not going to work.

Yes they should be fine befote throwing theme together allure them to be in their own cages side by side to see how they do for a day then slowly transition them together in a cage that they have not been in. ..should work out great..
