i have two mini goats about 5 months old, brother and sister. The girl took to feed and hay and is eating normally but the boy is another story. He's now half her size because he refuses EVERYTHING but a bottle. I honestly cannot keep bottle feeding him but I also can't let him starve either. I've tried different grains/pellets/ oats. He won't go near it and forget shoving it in his mouth, he just spits it out. One person even suggested to shove a little bit of the leafy part of alfalfa in his mouth several times a day to help him get a taste for it. I did that for a week, nope, he still hates it. I've even tried to only give him one bottle a day in hopes that he would get hungry enough to eat the food that's out there. NOPE. Its hard to believe he's half his sisters size now but here we are. I'm at the end of my rope. Please help!
