All my new ones with problems are MUCH better! There's no more "livestock" living on them. Laura you were right about the "bumps" and they seem to be completely gone now but I still keep checking them. Since feeding them what you suggested, the baby soy formula, they are so much healthier. I've been making a gruel for them with Gerber baby cereal, usually rice or mixed grain, and the baby formula. They LOVE it and their fur has gone from sparse brittle stuff to gorgeous and silky. The little boy Punkin and the little girls my daughter took are much more active. Shadow has become a lover boy with tons of kisses. Scooter Pie (the only healthy one) is a total nutcase. He plays non-stop and wants attention constantly. They are so  much fun. Thanks for the help!  Nancy
