The only think i know of is to do the pinch test, where you can pinch the skin between the shoulder blades, if it stays up and tented, the suggie is dehydrated. I'm not sure if it works with babies.. i'm sure someone else will come along soon though

I don't breed, but from what I've seen, the wrinkly skin of the joey could be an indication that he is dehydrated. What diet are you feeding mom? Is she getting extra protein to aid in milk production? I'm not 100%, but if he's looking dehydrated, and is weak, you should supplement feed him, but leave him with mom. The only time you should completely pull is if you notice mom completely rejecting him--generally you'll notice cuts or scratches around the nose. I'm sure someone with more experience will come along and give more info, but this is what I've understood.

HER EYES ARE STILL CLOSED I THINK SHE IS ABOUT 4 DAYS OPP I AM FEEDING HER THE GOAT/ PUPPY REPLACER AND SHE JUST GOBBLES IT UP EVERY TIME. SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANY SCRATCHES OR OWIES JUST SEEMS A LITTLE WEEK AND DOES NOT MOVE AROUND MUCH COMPARED TO THE OTHERS. I AM REALLY SCARED FOR HER. I WILL TRY INCREASING HER FEEDINGS AND ABOUT THE PEDIALYTE WHAT FLAVOR AND DO YOU HEAT IT UP AND FEED IT JUST LIKE YOU WOULD DO WITH THE MILK
