[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13702"] The first thing you need to do is make sure they are getting their first milk. If you are not on a dairy, find one nearby, and ask if they will sell you some of the first milk.(the dairies near us do) no powder is as good as the real thing. I,ve also found that leaving them just a little hungry(not stuffed)kept them going a little better. I usually increased the amount they were given every week if they were eating good.
