Maisy is now 205g and Ollie is 195g! I'm pretty sure the sexes are right. They'll be 3 weeks old on Tuesday. Should I take Ollie out or wait till he's 250g. By Tuesday he will probably be nearly at that weight. :)
 
He sounds like he is pretty much on track! ;)
 
Yes I thought so. They are still feeding from poppy atm. And I have a vets appointment Tuesday for second lot of ivermectin
 
They will continue to suckle up to 4 weeks or even a bit longer if they can corner mummy, but it is no longer the main source of food, rather topping up. You will see mum discourage them increasingly. ;)
 
Yes they eat all veggies! Have not seen them drink from the water bottle but they may do it when I'm not looking.
 
So pleased they are thriving. But now you have to decide when to separate young Ollie. It's not easy for you. You could ask the vet to check his sex when you take them for their treatment tomorrow.
