Thanks! Do you have any suggestions on how to get my big girls to increase their soup intake? Yesterday and today it's only been around 2 1/2 oz each. Or is that an okay amount for them to live off of? If I stay up late with them and remind them where the plate is they eat more, but alone in their cage it's only a couple of bites that get eaten.

Adult females eat 1 to 3 oz of food a day so technically they are within what is expected out of them. I don't see an issue with 2 and a half ounces. Once they get the hang of eating the soup maybe in the next week or so they may eat more or stay where they are at.

So it looks like your two older ones were 2 pounds 1 ounce and 1 pound 12 ounces. So they both are gaining weight. I would not worry one bit if they are getting enough to eat. It looks like they are getting plenty.

Well this morning we finger fed her, took the both of us to hold her still and manage to swipe the soup into her mouth. Not sure the exact amount but it wasn't much. We're going to keep doing it frequently through out the day to make sure she's ingesting something. Luckily for me mikes home today to help, she wiggles so much it's pretty impossible for one person to do it themselves.
