Help topic for hand rearing

[tarcus]

  hello all you dutiful persons who hand reared this year I have a request for you a task if you may.
I am wondering if for the benefit of others who may have to do it you could recall and recount your adventures in this topic
I know you have all mentioned what when where etc. but there is no one place that mentions the how; the nuts and bolts of the operation.
Ideally I am thinking in terms of a recipe book layout with a list of ALL ingredients needed; milk(type/amount) bedding tools (bottles feeders cotton buds)
Also where to get all these things
Also a detailed account of how to feed, how to burp how to change nappies so that anyone who finds themselves in this predicament may come here without waiting for someone to answer questions in case of emergency.
I expect you all had different methods so as many as possible would be great for comparison and maybe help those who are tentative to try if needs be.
It may also be a good idea If the boss is willing to pin this to the top of the board if possible or move a link to it on the front pages.
Just a thought for you........

good idea

i mainly just found trial an error worked for us lol,but i tried baby milk at first and found when they were taking regular feeds that they had really loose poos but the best milk i found was kitten milk with a little drop of honey in 
they couldnt get enough of it 
plus dont forget to wipe them to stimulate the wees an poos 
the main thing i found i needed was alot of LUCK

what emma said lol make sure the milk is specially for small animals, amounts on the tin for small animals n a drop of honey, and given every few hours if very young, feedem pet supplies sell the milk, plus the syringes n bottles, n i used cotton wool with warm water to help them go poo n wee  i had them on a hot water bottle covered with fleece.
