I realize this reply is a bit late, but FYI, when worrying about non-feeders, a 10% loss in weight means time for intervention. (force or assist feeding). In neonates, don't wait for the whole 10%, but with stressed out hots, perhaps stretch out the whole 10%. Use your best judgement also based on their mentality (lethargic or bright and alert).
