espilac puppy formula is brill ... better than welpy if you get it buy it ! you can get it in ready made cans already mixed, it from the usa my friend recommended it once and they gain weight straight away on it . also use teats that are ment for rates and mice and hedgehogs as the teats are so much smaller .. my thoughts are with you xxx

Thanks guys but they are latching on quite well with some help and I am resisting doing a weigh in until tomorrow although it will be a busy night! The smallest weighs 21/2 oz and the the other is 31/8oz...................

Aw, sorry you're having a rough time with these litters. Glad the second litter is doing ok! And I hope the other 2 pull through. There is a great video on tube feeding on youtube--actually looks fairly simple but I understand your hesitation to intervene with nature as well. Hopefully these two are strong & healthy enough! Will be thinking of you all....

you have to buy the tubes online my vets wouldnt supply them to ppl as they dont encourage unprofesstionals to do it .... you have to weigh and measure the pups to get the right amount and length to place the tube .... its scary to start with x
sounds like the pups are quite small ...
please if you get time keep us updated xxx
thinking of you all xx
