I have 2 1 day old pygmy one is drinking 1 1/2 oz every 3 hrs the other is drinking 1/2 every 3 hrs in worried the one not eaten much isn't getting enough milk
The rule of thumb is 20% of their body weight a day. So, a 1 lb baby (that's tiny even for a dwarf) would get just under 4 oz a day. But, a 4lb baby would need a lot more- around 14 oz a day. It doesn't have to be exact but it's a good guideline to make sure your not under feeding or over feeding.
