Shadow is teasing us. She had so much milk that the vet has even given her some antibiotics as a preventative measure against mastitis. Today, there is very little once again and apparently no risk whatsoever. My Mistress was delaying trying solid food in the hope that they got more antibodies from their mum, now she either has to make up more formula or move them onto solids fairly quickly. I think she has decided to make up one more batch of formula, but to start introducing solids tomorrow in parallel. There will be a lot of change for them to take in tomorrow. They will be trying out the pen for a daycare facility and then in the evening coming back to where they have been sleeping. They are also getting their first visitors.
Today they will be mostly sleeping with brief interludes for eating. You should see how fast they can get through a bottle of formula now. There were times when one bottle lasted for several meals. Now they get through more than a whole bottle in a meal.
