Help! Baby chins won't use the bathroom

[lJesterl]

I posted a few days ago and u guys helped me out alot on making them eat. I have them eating goats milk and they eat lot but I can not get them to use the bathroom. I have used cotton swaps warm and i've even blew air on them like someone suggested. They are almost 1 week old and I havent gotten them to use the bathroom 1 time. I see poop in there cage that they are in. I dont want them to die please help!

Are they by themselves in the cage, so that the poop can only be theirs? Are there wet spots in the cage?

If you have been feeding them for a week and they haven't gone to the bathroom for you once, then it's a safe bet they would be pretty ill. It's possible that you are stimulating them and they are going once they get back in the cage, rather than while you are holding them.

Have you been weighing them? Are they gaining weight? Do they act like normal babies - toodling around the cage, bouncing a bit. When you feed them, by the time they are done, does their tail curl up around their backs and their tummies feel round and warm?
