So just curious, but why are you feeding him a bottle and then putting him w/ mom? Don't you want him to nurse her?

I debated this for awhile. I decided to give him his bottle first so he has the strength and energy to adjust to the change of being in the cold barn. I really don't have a lot of experience with this so maybe it wasn't the best plan but I thought through the pros and cons and "hope" I made the right decision.

Time will tell. I put him up with mama and she seems to have accepted him. He was rooting around in the udder area and she was letting him. He didn't nurse. When I left he was snuggled under the light with his sister crawling on him.

The weather wasn't as bad as they said it could be but there is a thin sheet of ice on everything and it is slick. Jo Jo slipped on the porch when I took the hounds out for their mornign constitutional.

I got baby boy on a teat and he sucked down a good amount. He was looking for it again when I left. I will check on him again but I know Nissan will let him nurse. So if he figures it out we will be all set.

I got some new pictures of the babies.

Ginger's White baby: look at his nice topline and good hindquarters.

Ginger's brown baby: This one is solid all over

Nissan's baby boy: he is a chunk. this picture does not do him justice but you can see his hindquarters

Nissan's girl baby: Look at her big legs and wide body. She is jumping all over everything at 3 days old

Look how Nissan's girl baby has her face

Nissan is taking good care of little boy

I always figured she'd be a good mama. Glad she took him back.
