    Need some help with Nigerian Dwarf bottle babies

    Update: He laid off a day or two after his sister left, I had to syringe feed him because he just wouldn't eat. I didn't want to give up on him and have to bring him back too, so I had the idea to introduce Peanut the Chihuahua to him. It took a day or so and he perked back up. He started taking...

    I own 4 wethers that I've had for about 2 years. I got them when they were about 3 months so they were already eating on their own. They are hilarious and part of the family.

    Need some help with Nigerian Dwarf bottle babies

    They are on goats milk and whole cows milk mixed in because once I run out I will have them on whole cows milk only. Only because there's no where close enough to me that sell goats milk. I was able to purchase 2 gallons from the breeders friend. Some were frozen I'm just getting to those ones...

    Need some help with Nigerian Dwarf bottle babies

    The buckling is 4.5 lbs and the doeling is 5.5 lbs. They were part of triplets but I only took the two. I do think the buckling ate too much yesterday and that is why he is laying off today. Yes, they are living in my house. I have them in a pack and play with puppy pads and tons of warm...
