You might better try to get them to take a bottle some now
Hard to switch one at that age
But in my experience it's easier to get a buckling to take a bottle when older that hasn't had one before than it is with a doe

@goatwhisperer: I have never switched a baby to a bottle, these our my first babies, and other than a Pygmy wether I had as a child(Which actually looked kind of like Bleu.) These goats are my first, lol. Iris I got as a bottle baby at 4 weeks, and she was dam raised before I got her, she took the bottle really well.
@OneFineAcre: I was planning on giving them a bottle before, but still letting them nurse from their dam, to get them used to it, if you know what I mean, lol.

Thanks! I guess it's a good thing that they're bucklings, or they wouldn't be leaving!!!
