Ok so with all the issues with the little billy we have had and thanks for all the help all. I have yet to see him poo or pee. He was in the house for 7 hours today and he ate 1 cup of milk and did not poo or pee after. He does not have a hard belly and eats well but I thought after he ate he would have done something. At least have done something in 7 hours at least a little poo or pee but nothing. I have not had a goat in the house since last year but usually within an hour after a bottle they pottied. He was born the 31st so I would think he has done something by now or he would be hunched up and not eating. I thought about giving an enema just to be sure he is going but I dont know the harm if any that would do. I know I wouldnt want one if it was not necessary. Maybe I am worring more because he is the first registerd goat born here. Or maybe its that he is so Tiny I did not have mini goats before and I am not used to something so small lol. He bounces and plays with the chickens he dont really play with the other baby goats he acts like he is to cold when I put them out during the day. So mom has been going to pasture and he has been staying in. How cold is to cold for a ND baby? They have heat lamps in the shed at nite and during the day I have young chicks about 2 onths old in there. I figure if its warm enough for them it is surley warm enough for him. Thanks Heath
