Sigh. Kensey only made a small weight gain again yesterday. I only fed him once, the idea being to supplement mama's feeding, not replace it- supply and demand and all that- but it hasn't really made a difference. So today he'll get two or three supplemental feeds.
Kenneth, on the other hand, who had also had three days of smaller weight gain, made a most acceptable gain of 14g. Ok, it's not a brilliant gain, but it's an improvement. His was far and away the best gain though, with the others trailing behind with just over half that or less, even Wendell making a poor gain... a state of affairs bound to make me twitchy.
I'm also now thinking that Indigo isn't eating as much as she ought. She's kind of off her food at the moment... she eats, but I'm not sure it's enough. She doesn't seem that interested in food at the moment after weeks of eating like a horse.
They all LOOK pretty healthy though, alert and curious, and protested heartily at weighing time, they certainly aren't looking feeble or sickly and it's not as if any have stalled or are losing weight... they are all putting on, just more slowly than they were. On the other hand, they are moving around a lot more than they have been... perhaps they are just using their energy for that rather than it all going towards growth?
I'm still twitchy though. Of course, many people would think I was absolutely bonkers for weighing them daily. But still. Twitch, twitch...
