2 quarts water 1-teaspoon baking soda 1-teaspoon salt 7 Tablespoons sugar 1 packet Sugar-Free Kool-Aid 1/2-teaspoon salt substitute
The salt substitute and Kool-Aid are optional. Store in the refrigerator. Be creative; use your special Kool-Aid to make ice cubes so it will stay cool in their bottle or sippy-cup. Or, insert toothpicks into your ice cubes before freezing and make homemade popsicles.

One more question... how much should the little fellow be drinking of the mix every hour for six hours? - I read Suz website, but it does not state an amount. (he took .5cc - is that enough)

Sorry no one has answered you. I think as much as you can get into him right now. I don't know, but I would think it would be equal to the amount of food you would give. Is he rejected? Are you hand feeding?

If he's dehydrated, I'd give him 1-2 cc's every 2-3 hours for 24 hours.

He is up to 1cc every hour and he is doing much better... and while mom has been feeding him I am concerned that we may be at the start of a rejection here as I have not seen mom doing any feeding today and the little fellow was found outside of the sleeping pouch.
I have all the supplies needed IF he is rejected.

Between 0.5 and 1.0 cc's every hour is a good amount of Pedialyte for a week oop joey sounds like you're doing a great job with him already I would definitely consider him rejected at this point since you found him cold, alone and dehydrated Call me if you have further questions

Carolyn, he's SO cute You're doing great with him! Your decision to keep him with the parents is a wise one since they are caring for him in all ways except feedings Keep up the great work

The little fellow named Rocky did not make it... he was doing good and was no longer dehydrated when I last feed him before going to bed my self, but mom & dad must of known some thing I did not as his little body was no where to be found when I got up to check on/feed him... the twins (born to the other female) are doing great. Nature has its own way of dealing with matters that we as human may not always understand, but must accept.

I'm sorry Carolyn to hear about Rocky. You did everything that you could to help him. It's so hard to understand why they are taken away so early. Many hugs and prayers. Godspeed Rocky
