Chillin' with the herd
Hey guys! I am now the proud first time owner of two adorable Nigerian dwarf goats. They just turned 5 weeks old and they're bottle fed. I've been hanging around 6-8 oz of goats milk at each feeding. The buckling is fine but my little doeling I'm noticing that her belly swells up even after a few oz. I'm worried it may be bloat and sure as heck don't want to lose one of my babies. She's acting fine though with no scours and is still running around like her brother. Neither of them even have the sticky poop that milk can cause there's just little dry pellets everywhere! Haha. Am I just being a paranoid new goat Mama? Or am I feeding them too much? I've found a million websites telling me how much to feed full size goats but not hardly any for my mini goats. Thank you!
