Baby Crestie and Food

[greenman1867]

How much should a baby (1" body) Crestie be eating? She seems fine but I can only get her to take 5-6 licks of fruit baby food. It seem so little to eat.

Anyways I wil post a pic of her (??) when I get a chance to take a good shot.

When they are babies it doesn't take much to fill their little bellies. When I first got our newest baby I would watch her eating from a little dish, and when she was done, I couldn't even see where she had eaten!

If your crestie is just that small that seems to be alright. You have to consider that they only have a little/tiny stomach. If you are finding poop and she is active, don't worry and enjoy her.
You should post in the Rhac forum (cresties) as you will get more reading your post pertaining to your crestie.:)

The first few weeks they hardly eat enough to feed a fly :) They seem to live on love alone.
I've got some of those (old style?) McDonalds coffee spoons which I use for handfeeding babies. Seems one of these, a slightly heaping serving fruit is about a serving for a baby. By the time they're around 8-10 weeks they graduate to a 'taste tester' spoon from Baskin Robins.

LOL I didn't know the scientific name, my bad.
