Great question! They should get 15-20ml per day for every 100g body weight when they are two weeks of age. Divide this by the number of feedings they get per day, which should be six to eight feedings a day, and that will give you how much they should get at each feeding. At three and four weeks, they should get 20ml per day for every 100g of body weight. This is just a rough estimate, however, and it's always better to underfeed than overfeed. Feed them until their belly is gently rounded but not beyond that. As long as they are steadily gaining weight, they will be fine. I hope this helps!

At this age I would feed him every four hours. You can feed him as much as he is willing to drink, he should stop drinking when he has had enough. Do not forget to stimulate his anus and penis opening to entice him to poop and pee. Wipe him with a moist cloth once in a while to keep him clean all over.
