How old are they now?

It might be they are starting to wean  themselves off the milk....It certainly sounds like it if they eating all that solid food     All my litters have stopped feeding off Mum by the time they are 6 weeks old.  Keep trying to give them some milk for another week but don't panic if they don't want it....  It sounds to me like they are doing great SO STOP WORRYING OK?   

[emab]

ok cheers 

[DayleC]

If they are eating and drinking solid food enough and they are looking healthy and well I wouldn't worry too much. They are 5 weeks old now and probably bored of milk.
Keep an eye on them so they do eat well. And don't panic I am sure they are all fine, just don't want to waist their pressures play time by feeding from a bottle. It is different when mum feeds they because they do it in bed.
Good luck.

oh thanks i feel alot better now because i know they are eating well, they are eating apricot and pumkin seeds at the mo,
plus ive given them cherries,fig biscuits too, ive also soaked so bread in there milk with oats which they loved

ive made a little mix up of dried fruit, crushed nuts,sunflower seeds,pumkin seeds, and they seem to love it too

   I'm not surprised they won't have any milk with that lot on offer....

I think you are doing a great job 

With Hermione's babies they started eating solid food at four weeks but continued to want milk from mum at 6 weeks and she still nursed them, they still tried at 7 weeks although by 6 1/2 weeks it seemed they wern't getting much milk and mum didn't have much tolerance and quickly moved away. Not long after seven weeks they stopped nursing.

Hi Hun. Sounds like they are ready to slow down on the milk front. Mine only had 2 feeds from 5- weeks maybe that's what urs are doing. BECAREFUL on the fruit frount  sometimes this can upset tummys and cause dyhydration, due to loose droppings etc small amounts of fruit,are ok but not too often. X well done tho looks like they will soon be ready to explore the big wide world! Try not to panic as hard as it is.
