The bottle was a no go, so I put a doe in milk on the stand and let them nurse. She kicked at first but then settled right in and let them nurse. I think we will do this twice a day.

That’s what I am worried about. I don’t think they will switch, but we will give it a try.

Thank you.

I have a doe that just died of pneumonia. She has 2 bucklings that are 5 weeks old. They are dam raised and have learned how to graze and drink water on their own. Do I need to try to bottle feed them milk or will they be ok to be weaned?

Mom is fine. She just isn’t motherly. I plan on selling her after these guys are weaned. She has never stayed with her babies very well. In the summer it isn’t so bad because it is warm outside. With all the snow they just weren’t staying warm enough. This was an oops pregnancy. I prefer late...

I have tried the baby nipple but they don’t even try to suck them. Today I got another 2 oz in one boy at his feeding. The other boy got only an ounce but drank it faster than he did the day before. I guess I just want them to catch on like the little girl. Just as fast and just as strong. With...

Thank you. Yes they have a good suck reflex. I tried that yesterday. Update is I went to Tractor supply and they didn’t have the nipples nor the drench . I bought a black rubber nipple that looked the same. The lady at the check out happens to raise Pygmy and she recommended I buy a Red Bull...

I have vitamin B complex that I can give here at the house. Would that work? Also how much would I give? They weigh 5lbs

Oh and I am feeding them their moms milk

I’ll keep you all posted.

Thank you everyone! The little girl is healthy. On the boys, I have tried a regular baby bottle nipple and that didn’t work. I think I’ll try the syringe to just get some in their belly. I’ll have to go to the store to get the nutri drench and vitamin paste. Hopefully the syringe will work for...

I have 3 nigerian bottle babies that came in the house on Thursday the 10th. I have 2 boys and one girl. They were with their mother for a week but she kept distancing herself from them more and more each day until she wouldn’t go near them even to just let them eat. It is winter and they need...

Luna has had 2 sets of triplets. My other doe Mia is her daughter. Luna's breeding seemed to be successful on Oct 30th several matings that ended in a hunch posture. Mia on the other hand stood for her buck but I didn't ever see him mount her. He is proven though. Maybe it happened at night...

i have 2 female does. Luna our alpha doe was in heat Oct 30th and we took her to a stud. I saw several successful attempts. Since then she has not really come out of heat. We took our other doe to a stud this weekend to be bred. I just brought her home and Luna went all Bucky on her. She keeps...

Ok I agree. We will try to get her pinned up and check her. She is still carrying them high. I know they are alive. I saw at least one moving yesterday while she was standing still for me.

i have a neighbor who has a Nigerian dwarf that is about 9 years old. She has not been pregnant in at least 6 years. She was bred to a buck June 12th. I know that is the date because I saw it happen. She should have kidded on Nov 4th but has not yet. Her nipples are longer but she isn't bagged...

The babies are getting so big! I just wanted to share a few pics.

Well no temp and no stinky breath today. She wants to make a lire out of me lol. I'll continue to watcher and see if it comes back.

I don't know. I will check her in the morning.

It's not sweet at all. More like rotting and decay. She had 3 kids but one was stillborn. She looks very healthy.
