Feeding the babies
Quick question about feeding these little guys. They all ate a little bit this morning Yeah
, but some had a tiny amount(like 1 mouthful) Should I be feeding 2x a day for 1st week, since they are eating such a small amount? I was planning to just feed once a day, but now I am rethinking that?

Re: Feeding the babies
I don't think there is anything wrong with offering them food twice a day, as long as you just keep an eye on how fast they grow, and fat chance you wouldn't keep your eye on everything about them

Re: Feeding the babies
Thanks guys. I am being the typical worrying mama, lol I have 2 little guys that are only 11-13g and 13cm so I am particularly worried about them. One of them is eating well, one not so much.
