Is this the right rodent block for the boys? No Mazuri or anything else

I was going to post earlier short video clips, but at the last feeding, I managed to get video of each one eating. These were taken a bit more then an hour ago :


Butchie:



Joey:



Wild how noisy they are  

Butchie now weighs in at 153 grams, and I think will move up to 7cc's per feeding soon. He gains 2-7 grams/day .

Joey weighs in at 254 grams and may need more then the 10 cc's he takes. Sometimes he drinks well, sometimes not. But he gains steadily, maybe 10 grams/day for the last few days.

Both are eating every 5 hours; a bit longer at night.

Hi **  . I actually did try the nipples with Joey when I first started feeding him. They don't fit his current syringes so for a time I had him on the 1cc syringes. Problem is he really tried nibbling them, and that's when I panicked a bit. Even with Butchie now I worry he might pull them off and swallow them. I am hoping the new nipples I ordered are a bit tougher.

Do you think the rodent blocks I bought will be ok? I haven't opened the bag and thought about bringing them back if they aren't ok, but I may offer them to my mice and gerbil, even if they aren't ok for the boys.

Never heard from the vet. My guess is whoever called was a one time type; maybe they found help for the baby? I know my friend who works at another vet says they don't hear back after the initial call. I did update the nice guy who gave me Joey a few days later. He has my number in case he comes across any. Not sure he would call but one never knows. He apparently is in the tree trimming business.
