    Default Just acquired another baby. Maybe 5-7 weeks? Help!🙋🏻*♀️🙋🏻*♀️🙋🏻*♀️

    Hey guys. Its me again. Just acquired another baby this evening. She weighs 200gm (7oz)
    When I first got her she had a little blood around her lips but seems to be fine. (People who brought her could of been a little rough).
    Ive got fox valley 20/50. I need a little reminder on how much to feed and how often? Or if? Healthy blocks coming in. Btw, TJ the bluegrass queen is great, blind, but great. Bluegrass Princess here is not as you g as TJ was so its gonna be a little doffer for me already being part grown. So any advice and mathematics would be greatly appreciated.

    Ps- heating pad still?

    Welcome little one! At 200g you would feed 10cc to 14cc 3x daily. Blocks and veggies of course.

    She would not need a heating pad at her age but it would not hurt to offer the heating pad under half the cage (with a pile of fleece). If she chooses other places like a hanging cubby instead (which is likely) you can take away the heating pad. She just might like it though with the colder nights we have been having lately!

    I doubt that she will take the nipple ok. If she doesn't, try giving
    her the formula without a nipple.

    By the looks of her tail I would estimate her age at closer to 8 weeks old.
    She's just precious.

    So glad that Princess TJ is doing well.

    She sleeping alot right now. Managed to get bout 3ccs of fox valley and 1cc of water. ����*♀️. Does NOT like syringe. So this is gonna be interesting. She does have some teeth. Small. But they there. I think she may still be a little freaked out. Obviously. She has grown up so far in the wild. I want to make sure she has eaten and drank. But I hate to force it. Im wondering if when she gets maybe hungrier will it be better?

    Ok. No teeth on top. A lil nubb on the bottom. Managed to get 3ccs in at lunch. 1.7 just now. Covering eyes helps a bit. But any suggestions would help. Cause there is no way she is getting enough

    Is she eating any solids on top of the formula?

    You might experiment with the temperature of the formula, some like it really hot, others not so much. Rubbing her checks and the magic squirrelly spot under their arms helps them relax. In fact I just did this check rubbing, arm scratching an hour ago with a new intake that was being fussy and he took 12ml....
