Question:
Raven, my dark ebony girl delivered triplets early this morning. She's a first time mom so I was surprised by the 3. She had a dark ebony boy, an extra dark ebony girl and a tiny light ebony boy. The extra dark eb girl was not formed properly and passed away. The other 2 seem to be doing fine but I am worried about the light eb being so small. He weighs 29 grams.
Any tips to help this little guy out would be greatly appreciated.
I'll be standing by ready to supplement him if necessary


Answer:
Congrats on the babies, though I'm sorry to hear that one didn't make it.

I'm not sure about helping the little guy through. I'm sure you're already watching to make sure that Raven has milk and everything.


Answer:
So sorry to hear about the wee one that passed away Pam. Congrats on the other two, hoping everything goes well with the smaller Ebony boy.

Answer:
Please keep the littlest ebony boy in your prayers. I have started to supplement him as he seems very weak. Mom is keeping him warm and he is trying to nurse.


Answer:
Congratulations! Sorry you lost one, good luck with the other 2, especially the wee one.


Answer:
Thank you, Rebekah, Carleen and Laurie. I appreciate your encouragement and concern!
The littlest eb boy seems a bit more spunky this morning and I see him trying to nurse from mom. I am still going with supplementing him till moms milk comes in but I'm am really having a time getting him to take the formula. I'll just keep going with it until I'm satisfied he's getting enough from mom. Hopefully he will make a turnaround soon. The bigger kit is doing great and has actually gained a gram so am happy he's doing well.


Answer:
Don't give up on the little guy Pam. It always seems to take them a little while to get used to the supplementing.


Answer:
I must say, he's absolutely tiny! Though I think he's got some spunk -- I bet he wants to keep on living. Good luck!


Answer:
Congrats Pam! I am sending pull through vibes to the little one!


Answer:
Congrats on the little one, I am sorry to hear about the one

I am praying for the little one and hope all goes well with him, don't give up as it sounds like he has a will for Life.
