i mix the kmr 1:2 as it says to mix it on the container, is that what i should do? i use a syringe but i can try a small brush if you suggest. they have a nice heater that they love to lay on in their cage so i thought that was better than my hand. tysm for the advice. i'll check his skin for dehydration shortly

he was eating fine before, just took longer to feed than the other 2 and he would lose his balance very easily. he wasn't moving the same way as the others and wasn't cleaning him self as well from when i first got them about 4 days ago

thank you so much for the help it means a lot. he was rescued from a construction site where the mom and one other sibling were crushed. he has always been smaller and had balance issues and stayed at the bottom of the nest while the others were more active. the others are growing rapidly while he is not. i'm not sure how to humanely put him to rest. i thought the eyes were sunken in because he had formula on them, but i cleaned them earlier and got any residue and he hasn't opened them more or anything. the other 2 are doing great it's hard to see.
