Hi all,
A few days ago, we lost our favorite doe in a fence accident. She has a 3 week old set of twins that are orphaned now. We have tried bottle feeding them several times in the last few days but they are not having it. They are however content in the pasture with the other goats. They are still active, grazing some, and when I brought them in to try feeding again today, they both peed and pooped several times in 2-3 hour span. We have 3 other lactating does in the pasture that I assume they are robbing milk off of. My question is this, do I continue to leave them and keep an eye on them or really try to force the bottle?
