    Dried products are a no-no because they cause bloating.

    How much/how often should I feed her? I did get some of the Reptomin sticks and I fed her two halves last night, so I guess one technically. Because she is so malnourished, I don't want to make her sick. I'm just at a loss of how much I should give her and how often per day.

    I know in humans that feeding too much to a person that is in late stages of starvation can kill them.
    But in the animal world it might be a normal thing to go for long periods with out food.
    To be on the safe side I would only feed 1 half of a stick a night. for a week or so.
    Then as the baby starts to get filled out some then we will go form there.

    I think baby steps is the best approach.

    Thank you Such a great feeling to feed her and see her eating with her little hands. I've been looking forward to it all day!

    Agreed,
    I miss having ACF's but they are outlawed in my state.
    I use to have a pair in my office at USC Aiken many years ago.

    Watching them play and eat made my day.
