Day 147 update. Luna has NO ligaments when I feel for them. ........I think. 
Her tail head is really really sticking out and hollow. How long after that happens??? Can it go for days looking like that?? I sure wish she would have them today since I am off of work, but I am sure she won't cooperate. Stella still has ligaments.

We have 2 bucklings. I am not sure if she has more. She is still standing and staring off into space, so I am heading back out there with her. Both boys have had a little snack of colostrum so they are doing great. They are sooooooo cute and I promise I will share pictures as soon as I get back inside.

Pictures are on the way. I have been working with momma and the babies for hours. She only had the 2 and passed the placenta. The problem I am having is that the first born is a tiny, tiny little squirt and she steps on him all the time and rolls him and is going to hurt him. I have him in the house with me. She lets them nurse if I hold her collar but she does not lick them or look at them or watch for them at all. I would keep giving her more time if only they kids weren't so tiny. Remember these are mini nubians and boy did they come out mini. Considering mom's size, just one step on the runt would hurt him badly if not kill him. So I am not sure what to do. I can keep letting them nurse off of her but I don't feel safe leaving them in the pen with her.
Any advice would be great. I don't mind bottle raising them if I have to and I don't mind working with her waiting on her to bond with them. I just can't believe how much she doesn't care where she is stepping when she tramples them!! :/ What is the best course of action???? Any opinions????
