Thank you for the quick response! I’ve been feeling like every full feeding, potty time, and day with these guys is a mini victory. That also means that any of those missed feels like a snowball about to roll down the hill. Yikes!
Anyhow, I typically give up on BMs and large amounts of urine around the 20 min mark. Lately, I’m getting urine at each feeding and large BMS every 2 or 3. But this is usually only after also trying the tummy massages and warm water soaks. The “flicking back and forth” actually just worked great at getting them to urinate right away. One even had a decent BM, as well. Thanks for the tip!
I guess I’d rather have some high maintenance squirrel babies Vs something going wrong. But holy moly... are they time consuming! By the time I’ve pottied and fed the last in line, I’m an hour away from setting up the next feeding.
2 other side notes to include...
1)
there is some suckling going on. Evidence is on their tiny privates. Worried this may be happening during the longer stretch I take for sleep? Also, this evidence coincides with a milky substance on their mouth sometimes. Any idea if that’s related?
2) wow. I’m sleep deprived and forgot. Mom brain. I’ll add as soon as I remember and/or get adequate sleep
