I have a litter of 10 flemish giants that were orphaned today
I read the article above about feeding orphans and the only ingredients I can get quickly would be the KMR and heavy cream. They are 4 weeks old and have been nibbling on the pellets and even the dandelions I was giving their mom. They've also been playing with the water bottle.
So, what do I do? The stores around here are all closed so I will have to wait till morning to pick up the stuff I need. Are they going to be ok with the pellets? My husband suggested giving them some oatmeal if they'll eat it. Is there any way to make sure they're getting enough water?
This is so sad, they all come running when I open the cage and looking for mama, they look so lost! I really want to keep them all going.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!!!!
