Feeding Tips:

  • - Warm the milk to approximately 30 C.
  • - Use a bottle with an LD Teat or syringe for small joeys.
  • - Feed 6-8 times per day for joeys without fur, reducing to 4 times daily as they develop fur.

Hydration:

- Provide extra water between feedings if dehydration signs appear, especially in hot conditions.

Monitoring Growth:

- Regularly weigh joeys to ensure they are gaining weight and adjust feeding amounts accordingly.

Transitioning to Late Lactation

  • Timing:
    • - Begin the transition around 160 days of age, when the joey's eyes are open, upper incisors are emerging, and fine fur is visible.
  • Transition Method:
    • - Gradually mix decreasing amounts of Early Lactation formula with increasing amounts of Late Lactation formula over a period of 15-20 days.
