I know my camera is terrible. Sorry I need a new one.

reeny, those little triplets are really healthy looking with cuteness overload!!!

Thanks you guys! So glad they are doing well. Alittle trick I have found works is feeding mom mealies she will lay on her back as long as I keep feeding them to her and the little triplets will nurse away.

Here are some morning pictures of the little cuties!

Thanks Debbie!

OH-MY-WORD!!! How cute they are. I LOOOOOVE that last picture. Picture of the YEAR winner there.

aww Reeny... i was waiting for you to post these pics. super cute joeys... they are adorable...

What was the OOP date on these BEAUTIFUL babies???

Their oop date was 12/12 not bad for triplets!

I am concerned about the triplets the last two nights two of them have not gain but lost weight. Only one has continued to gain.

I am concerned. What I think I should do is take the biggest out for an hour and let the other two nurse. If I feed her mealies I think she will let them nurse for a few minutes.

Any suggestions????

Bumping Up!

Reeny...by far I am no expert, but those weights look really really good. They are 4 wks. now right...I don't think taking the bigger baby out for 30mins. or so would hurt. Could you supplement a little bit? Soon they will be eating on their own too....if it were me, I would offer a little supplement in my hand and let them lick it up. (Sheila showed me they are able to do this when she had rejected teeny babies once at an SGGA.).

Karin

Did you weigh them at the EXACT same time? That would throw the weights off a little bit if not too. (if they pottied, nursed beforehand, after, etc.)

K

Thanks Karin yes I have been weighing them at night when mom and dad first come out. I just took the biggest boy out and let the other two nurse but it was just a few minutes. They look ok. I could also supplement. Just don't know if it is necessary.

bumping up

Reeny, it really concerns me that both females have dropped ~ 2 grams since last Wednesday. I would definitely give the females more time with Mom during the day so they have a better chance at nursing. I would also start supplement feeding them at least twice a day until their weight comes back up again. This will not hurt the mother's milk production. Make sure you continue to check for dehydration, too. If you see any signs of dehydration at all, immediately start giving them Pedialyte and get them to the vet's ASAP.

HTH

Thanks Suz for your help. I supplemented all three of the joeys and they did pretty well. Of course the biggest ate the best. I am going to do this over the next few days am and pm. Unfortunately I am going out of town tomorrow til Wednesday evening on business. What bad timing! The joeys look good so I am concerned but I think they will be fine.

Debbie and Camille are going to help me. They will be coming over twice a day til I get home. THANK YOU SO MUCH you two! LOVE YOU BOTH! Wish them both luck!

I will keep you all posted!

Reeny, just curious but have they been trying to come out and explore any?
Just wondering if they had been getting more excersise than normal??

Im glad you have the girls close by to help you with handfeeding! Thanks awesome!


I got concerned about my triplets a time or two but im sure all willbe just fine! You are doing an awesome job!

If you ever need anything give me a call!
