We have three goats--all are 2 months old. I have a Nigie doeling, and my sister has 2 nubian wethers. They are all on bottles, twice a day, and getting a leaf of alfalfa as well.
My question is, being new to all this...WHEN is the best age to wean the Nigerian Dwarf, and the nubians? Should one breed stay on a bottle longer than another or no? Also, WHAT feed to introduce, should I provide like a salt or mineral block for them, etc?
Any advice on weaning/solid feed would be great! I'm doing my research reading goat books, but none of them are terribly specific about what feed or breet oriented.
