Congrats! He's adorable. Good job on handfeeding.

I used to hand feed kits from a particular female. I started to hand feed the mom some kit formula and she ended producing a lot of milk. It was a lot easier for me to feed the mom then the kits.

Thanks for the comments. Snickers, I am going to hope my beige lumbering around makes milk...when do you feed the kit formula to mom? Prior? At delivery time? I assume only til milk comes in since I thought milk wasn't good for adults...?

I fed it to her that day the kits were born for 2 days. It wasn't a lot but I can stand outside of the cage and feed it to her from a spoon. I just call it kit formula but it has crushed pellets, life line, water, and a little bit of goat milk. I do not feed this mixture to kits if I have to hand feed.

Interesting...okay, well, hopefully that won't be an issue but I will keep it in mind if it does. Thanks!

8.5 week update

Hi everyone...with the new kits arriving a few weeks ago and a bunch of other things going on, I've been slacking on my updating of pics. So, here are a couple pics of Jedi from this morning. He is 8.5 weeks old and around 260g. It is interesting how his markings have changed...

I'll fight you with my apple twig!

...on second thought, I'll just eat it instead. *nom nom nom*
