They should be on Pedialyte no more than 24 hours and then
switched to formula.
If these little ones are already pooping and peeing, they probably
were with Mom right up until the time the blackbirds got the nest, so
start the Esbilac now.
They look nice and plump in the picture.
Make sure that you make the formula up ahead of time, and let
it rest in the refrig for a couple of hours, stirring occassionally to
make sure it all dissolves.
I'm sure you know this but at this age, they should be eating every 2-3 hours
around the clock.
When you start on the Fox Valley make sure to get the FV 20/50. We no longer
recommend the FV 32/40.
Good luck with your little ones. I'm glad you're enjoying them.
