the 2 babies im handrearing at the moment, the last day or so they havnt taken as much feed, tonight ive only managed to get 1 ml in to the smaller 1 and 2 ml into the larger baby, i have noticed tho that they have started eating dry food of their own accord, is this normal for babies so young, they are still sleeping most of the time:cry::cry: im really worried and need some reassurance:cry:
 
Yes, 4-5 weeks is weaning age. They should be eating dry food now and reducing milk. Make sure they have a bowl or water for drinking and lots of hay etc. for eating :D
 
Could you try pm-ing one of the responsible breeder members such as Walnut Earth. I'm sure they'll have lots of experience about the weaning process. :)
 
They should be eating food now, don't panic you have obviously done a good job on them:D
