Hi,
We are first timers, who've successfully weaned our babies and I wanted to check to make sure we were giving them the right feed. We have two boer girls, they are pets.
We feed them alfalfa hay, (3-4 times a day, we can not give them free choice, they are getting fat and seem to eat as...
I'm so sorry, that's terrible...
I just wanted to add though... you should NEVER force feed a goat, perhaps if you are very experienced and know the anatomy of a goats throat... otherwise, you need to only tube feed a kid that wont eat, or you'll drown it :(
We have two baby goats, likely twins, have the same difference in personality, however, our little one was weak, was a hard feed, had to latch and hold her, she wasnt good at the sucking.... She also had diarreah. We switched her over to goats milk, and added probios to the milk twice a day...
