thanks :( I have still got Henry in Jadzia's room in a box of a night.. i have given him a hot water bottle inside a teddy bear.. ive just gone in and changed it for him and he is loving it.. he is just so happy and healthy so i cant think of what happened to Lucy.. You would think that if it was food, water or cold it would have gotten both of them??? He has actually come out of his shell since and he coes running to me and snuggles into me.. he was timid before..

@Roova.. foodwise they have had that crumble stuff with a bit of water in it, oats, dry cornflakes and weetbix (love them!!), grapes, zucchini, grass, ummmmm.. heaps and heaps of fresh water.. we have been bringing them inside before 5pm which is when the night air is starting to come in.. actually one night we got home late and they were fine, but that night she was defintitely in by 5.. i took a pic of her sitting on my at 5.. my husband said he thought she was cold, but i onlt thought her feet were, i could feel her body warmth when she sat on me..

anyways.. im done wondering if i did anything wrong.. it was just her time im thinking.. Henry is doing well - gotta focus on him now :)

The only thing I would say is be careful the treats you feed don't outweight their crumble. The crumble has the nutritional requirements perfectly balanced to aid in the best growth of babies. If you feed a lot of treat it can put this out of wack. Your baby has a lot of growing ahead of him so will need all the right nutrients at the right times.

Does his night box have a lid on it to keep the heat trapped through the night? Does it still feel warm when you stick your hand in the box in the morning? I know waterbottles lose their heat quite quickly (if the ones I've had at my feet in the past are anything to go by) so in the early hours of the morning when we're snuggled under our doona, the baby might be feeling the cold? Do you have a reading light with a long arm you could poke over the side for some added warmth? If he sits under it you know he's cold, if he sits away from it he's warm enough.

I'm just clutchig at straws for you sorry. I wish I knew what the answer was to make sure Henry will be ok. Are you going to get another gosling to keep him company do you think?

i would LOVE another gosling, was the first thing i thought of.. just not sure where to get one from?? done a bit of googling but not found much - mainly ducks!

the main thing he gets is crumble, though until yesterday he wasnt interested! he loves it now though which is great..

ive got half a day home today so i am going to see what i can figure out for a light.. his water bottle seems to be doing the job for now (we have gotten to -4), but i want the best for him of course!! and i dont exactly love changing his bottle in the middle of the night when the cold starts hitting lol

he is starting to look messy cos his feathers are coming through.. its so cute!! we have found he loves a rub under his wings.. he closes his eyes and sings :)

as much as i would really love to give him company, i must admit he is doing quite well on his own at the moment.. right this second my son has him snuggled into him on the lounge in front of the heater.. he is gonna think he is a lap cat or something LOL

thanks Rose.. :)
