Mo This is what I have always done as well.. though I usually use Half and Half instead of Goats Milk. At about 4 weeks if they are eating that good I start mixing in a bit of ground beef. This mix is always heated to room temperature. About 6 weeks I will start adding soaked kibble. Ginger Cleary, Rome, GA Never argue with an idiot.
