[quote]It seems like they aren't drinking any water at all! I make sure they have fresh at all times, but I've never seen them drink it.

Maybe they are getting enough with the formula?
[quote]

If they are not drinking the water, for one or two feedings a day mix the formula with water - about 2/3 formula and 1/3 milk. they will still be getting their nutrients - especially with the Nutrical - plus the necessary hydration. To check for dehydration pull the scruff of their neck up - if it stays or goes down slowly, then they need hydration. Ask the vet. I do sub-q fluids on mine if necessary - but my husband is an EMT and can do IVs.
