Is there any way you can get up throughout the night once to feed them? I'm worried they're not going to make it with the amount they are getting.

Yes, I am worried about that too. They really need to eat every 2-3 hours.

Even though they do not seem hungry, I think they need more food. Small amounts more often when you are home and in the night.

You are doing a good job though. They have no chance without you.

They only need the bath to get the dried poop off their fur. Will you have time this weekend?

Are they peeing and pooping every day?

How many feedings do you give each day? How many total mLs? I want to be sure they are getting enough to eat. :)

peeing everytime i fed them yes, but poop no.. sometimes they will poop..

i never count how much im feeding them.. but today i increase their total mL.. i gave each 1 of them about 3 mL or more depends if they still want more or not.. i always feed them 2hours interval except when im sleeping or working i never miss their feeding time

That's good. They are about one week old, and so should weigh at least 4-6 ounces.

This means they should get a minimum of 32mLs each per day, and possibly up to 48mLs each.

Divide this by 8 feedings, they should get 4-6mLs each per feeding. They will need this much to grow on.

You are doing a great job! :clap2:

The milk is fine.

Perhaps this biggest one is still hungry?

Did you see how much the portions should be in my earlier post?
