[Alpacasite] Re: Question Regarding Eataholic Cria

Hi Chris:

He was 14.9 at birth, born at noon on Wednesday - when I weighed him
a little while ago he was already 16.3. Running around, full of
piss and vinegar (can I say that on here?). Mom has plenty of milk,
we stripped several CCs early and since, and I've watched him nurse
and he seems to have it down pat - it's hard to tell how much he
actually gets each feeding - he's grey so his "milk mouth" is harder
to see :)
