Jenny is 11 weeks old now and it is getting hard to convince her to drink all of her formula. She weighs 350 grams and I am feeding her 25ml of formula. She is eating rodent block and some vegetables/fruit. Should she be drinking less formula at this point? Or should I keep after her until she finishes?

11 weeks is a very normal weaning age. I would not force her. Offer it morning and evening and make sure she has access to fresh water at all times. At least she's not giving it up at 7-8 weeks old, as some of mine have done over the years!
