ok our wait is over, snowflake had twin does today!! (will upload pics s asap) sooooo now what? they are healthy, have a good momma and heat lamps. Mom is a sweet pet and just loves her people, the look on her birthing face made me scream at dh"get her the epidural!!) my line whenever i go in labor.:0 These babies are not of my buck, so i get to keep them both!! I want them mom raised, so have i done my part? will she get it from here? We are in our goat yard 3-4 times a day,so they will be watched.... what else does a human mom need to do to help out?

For now just make sure they are nursing well
Try to spend as much time with babies as possible to socialize them to people if not they can get wild quick
Ours double their birth weight in about 10 days

Did mom get a CDT booster about a month before kidding ?
