first time with babies

[happy acres]

I'm a total newb about goats. Someone may have some doelings for sale and they're on the bottle still. My questions are : how much,and how often, will they need to be fed? When should they be weaned? Do you wean them like a human baby? Will they need a heat lamp? What is a good price? Thanks for any and all help!

On bottle feeding: So you bought a baby goat...now what? by Roll farms

Weaning: Around 8 weeks (8-12 wks)...see link above for more info

Heat lamp: In Alabama? Probably not.

Price: Don't know about prices around you, but around here unregistered would be $50-75...registered would be $150 and up.
