Did you use actual goat milk or powdered formula? Just a thought that maybe if you used the mama's own milk she would still accept the kid.

I used a bucket, except the nipples are at the bottom so no tubes to clean. I filled it with cold milk twice a day. They would drink most of it when it was put in anyway and then snack on the rest the remainder of the time in between feedings. Lambs got nice and chunky.
This lamb is the one on the left in the picture above, less than 1 month a part.

Excellent...clearly it worked well. Where did you get the nipples that thread thru the bucket?
I bought the bucket pre-assembled at Sheepman Supply. I'm sure you could buy the nipples separately online and build one using your own bucket.
