Hi Tina! 
 
The cria here is doing just fine.  He's gaining weight, about 1/2 pound a day or so, peeing & pooping really good, gets a bottle about every 2 to 2 1/2 hours.  Still only taking about 2 1/2 to 3 ounces at a time, but I'm now getting up once thru the night to feed him and that feeding is his largest.  About 3 1/2 ounces.   He's with the herd all day long until night fall.  All I do is run back-n-forth all day long!  He's interacting with the rest of the herd now.  I have two older crias, one is two months and the other is a month old, and they are now paying some attention to this cria.  Mom still has nothing to do with her cria.  She will occasionally come over to him, cluck a few times and walk off.  She had me worried for a couple days doing strange things like carrying a mouthful of grass in her mouth for hours.  She expelled something the other day - must have been pretty small as I could not find anything in the pasture, but she had blood smeared across her rear so I know she did something.  So my vet has had me put her on an antibiotic.  Right now I'd say this little guy has a good chance of making it!  My boarder has told me she will sign him over to me for my compensation.  I've told her I will think about it.  If he makes it thru the 1st month then I will have him signed over to me.  He is a Full Peruvian and is either a Mahogany Prince grandson or an Accoyo Jackpot great grandson.  And his mom is a Coal Man daughter so he has excellent bloodlines behind him.  I guess I need to think of a name for him.  I can't keep calling him my little stinker.  :o)
 
Thanks for asking about him!
