Meaties will be here in the morning!

Just a quick update: They turned two weeks old today. All are doing very well and growing very fast. I changed my schedule a little and I'm now going to process this batch at 6 weeks so I can squeeze in a second batch. They will be here next week and I will process them at 7-8 weeks.

They will be three weeks old Monday. I turned the light off last night for the first time. I was a little worried about doing it because since irene came through here last Sunday and Monday we have went from 90* in the day and 65-70 at night to not even making it out of the 60s during the day and it was 53 last night. But they were all fine and doing well this morning. Be putting them into their tractor this weekend and start preparing for the next batch coming Wednesday. I have some vitamin and electrolyte mix to put in their water this time. So hopefully that will cut down on initial losses.

IMHO, molases is better than sugar. It's still a sugar, but less refined making it easier to digest. I use 1 TBSP/gallon.
