Nursing chin weight question
« on: January 12, 2008, 03:25:04 PM »

Well two moths ago my chin had her first litter and during the nursing time she got kinda skinny  :-\

What food should I give her to regain her previous weight?

I wouls keep her out of breeding and feed her the usual feed.  She will slowly gain her weight back.

I add a supplement in with the pellets for my pregnant and nursing chins. I have tried a few different ones, and they all seem to work fairly well!
