Oh look at him all snuggled in there.

Does he seem to be feeding ok and getting enough attention from momma?

yes, i make sure every time i check in on them i put him near a nipple to nurse. he can find the bigger ones ok, just not the smaller ones. she treats him just like the others.

That is soooo sweet! It reminds me of the pic that came out a few years ago called the "rescuing hug" of a set of premature twin sisters.

It sounds like he is getting ok then. My smallest..(the gray one we have called sweep) Is the biggest bully. He is now 3.5 weeks old and more than makes up for his size. He was always the first to find a good spot to nurse and if the others were there before him he would wiggle his way right into the middle.

Awww they are cute. But I'm willing to bet by the time he's 6 months old, he'll be the size of his brothers. I've had many "runts" catch up later in size.

Oh my, he is tiny!

One of my runts is still very small, but the other one is one of the biggest. I'm sure yours will be fine as long as you make sure he's gaining weight and such.
