What Cliff said and....

Yes, more time in the sack could be an indication of absorbing the last bit of yolk. Babies born with some yolk left often do not feed right away.

My rule of thumb on feeding a new litter...

Full term, no yolk - feed at next feeding day.

Mostly full term but some yolk left - wait at least a week before offering food.

Preemies with larger yolk sacs - don't even think of offering food until after shed and even then likely to not take food for several weeks or more.
