How much Ensure should a sick rat get?

[Almarine]

Like the topic says, my little Spinelli is refusing to eat, so I'm giving him Ensure. How much does he need in a day to replace the food he's feeling to icky to eat? (He'll be seeing the vet tomorrow) His weight is down to about 350g.

Try and give him as much as he'll take. I don't think there's really a set amount.

Let them eat as much as they want, offered often throughout the day.

If he'll eat it, you can also mix ensure with baby food(Pablum). My rats really love the apple and cinnamon pablum thats in the little bag packets when they're sick, and the mixed in ensure is like heaven for them. Even if they turn down everything else, they will maul me for that bowl of baby food, LOL.

My sickies like baby cereal mixed with soy milk too...
