Wow!! I would never put her out there that soon!! We are going to wait until she is at least 8 months!

I forgot I put this thread up here. :hide But, yes, we've decided to wait until I am sure she can handle getting pregnant. Thanks so much for all the replies!!

Thanks!! Yeah, I plan to get the regular alfalfa, but this was all I could grab today. Yeah...if I had more goats than I do, I wouldn't have gotten it either. lol

So, in a pinch I had to get a bag of alfalfa hay made for rabbits. The protein percentage is 13. Is that ok for my goats? I have a buck, pregnant doe and a weanling. All are Nigerian Dwarfs.

Thank you. I will do that.

I'm just nervous about doing it since we lost her sister because she wouldn't take to the bottle. I don't want another one starving.

She's getting two cups twice a day. She is a mix between a full size goat (mama) and a Nigerian pygmy goat.

My bottle Fed kid us about 6 weeks. When and how should she be weaned? She is not even a little interested in feed. Hahaha We do try to keep feed out for her.

I would syringe feed until he gets it. We just lost one days ago because of this same problem. She refused the bottle and even though we thought she was getting enough, she wasn't. Had to go out of town for a few days and came home to her dying. (We had someone here caring for our animals)

Update: We lost the little brown and white baby dues to feeding problems. We have decided to sell the moma to someone that wants a pet, not a breeder due to her udder issues.

So, we have decided to sell one of our adult pygmies since breeding her has become a problem because of her udders. We lost one of our babies because she couldn't nurse both and she refused the bottle. So we are bottle-feeding the one we have left and decided to keep her. She is nowhere...

Thank you! Nigerian Pygmy/Brush goat...I think? She was given to us and she was already pregnant. Actually if any of you could shed some light on what the moma is that would be pretty cool. lol

Update in OP!

If it is plugged, what can I do from home?

Yeah...I'm gonna take her into the vet. The other side is fine, though, so at least she can nurse them from that one side. I had no problem milking the good side.

I think your dad is a smart man. lol

Just realized I never posted pics of our new kids...just born 48 hours ago! This is our Dixie, and her two new girls. And I think our Missy is pregnant again, too!

Thank you!! I'll check those links out!
