Baby feeding struggles!!

[keebs]

Well she has a meal in her now, so you have a bit of time. Are you sure her dates are correct... perhaps the situation is less critical than it looks. I assume you can keep track of her weight (ok, you are not supposed to handle her, but maybe you could get a weight while cleaning, if you have to move her anyway?)

I know what you mean about not wanting to bug people. I HATE and DREAD such things myself. Just send him an e-mail as an "update," and then ask the question. Some pics, if possible would be good too. Bob Clark is a breeder - if he is like any other breeder, he loves seeing updates and pics on the progress of the babies he sends off.

Best of luck to you and the little one.

Thank you for your encouragement. He's been awesome and I just sent him another email to see if he had any other suggestions in terms of getting her to feed. He never really gave me a hard date for when she hatched or how many meals he had managed to get in her before she was shipped off, so those were my main questions in this most recent email I sent him.

I'm gonna keep in close touch with him if he doesn't get sick of me I love this little girl to pieces and I want her to do well!

edit: i weighed her when I got her and she was at about 80-82 grams, but I didn't think about getting a weight on her when I fed her today, oops!
