Ok, you know that I have rescued Daisy and 2 babies, Taz and Maisie. From the first day, I have noticed that Taz and and Daisy were quite thin. Well a week and a half later, Daisy is fattening up, and Maisie is also growing well. Taz is however not growing as well. They all have access to plenty of food (changing over from their mix to pellets), hay and water, some oats too. I have observed many times that Daisy and Maisie push Taz out of the way from the food. I have made a point to feed him by hand (he eats from my hand, pellets and oats). I am getting a bit worried, as I have seen this behaviour on many occasions, and when you pick him up he is obvioulsly much thinner than his sister. My question is should I carry on hand feeding him, or should I take him away from his mum and sister?? I have spare hutch so no problem with that. They are now 4-5 weeks old.
Please any advice gratefully recieved
(ps planned to take them to vets in 2 weeks to confirm sex and get jabs)
