I feed until most have it ,,once over half team have it ,,there's no food for a day n half then they get handful to 20 baby's pinhead oats if they hold it down few hours later another handful,,for 7 days they never receive no more than quater of oz in one feed ,I go in loft 4,5,6 times over 16 hours so they get enough but never in one go ,,if I fill its needed I will treat baby's for a secondary infection with a product like matrix from tollisan

Yes Ant, treating for a secondary infection is a must I'd say, Tollisan products seem to do the trick too.
You seem to love feeding the pinhead oats, that's one feed I've never used unless it's been in some of the mixes we used?

Just been reading about the pinhead oats Ant, I can see why you use them now in the recovery process👍
