They are adorable. I have had a few first timers not be interested in thier babies. Some get over it and are great mom's. I would keep doign what you are, lettignthem nurse, letting her bond and see how it goes. If she doesn't accept them in abotu 3 days, get them on a bottle.

how is it going?

I was just going to post an update. This morning when I went out to do chores I put momma in with the kids and let them nurse like I have been doing. I didn't have to hold momma as tight as I did yesterday. One thing I noticed was when she picked up her feet or moved, she actually was careful where she put them down. Soooooo I left her in the barn with the kids and I checked on them a bit ago and she was actually standing still and one nursed. She still doesn't sniff them or lick them or act to motherly, but at least she stood still for them. I am hopeful that she will come around. Today will be the test day and I will see how it goes to leave them with her all day.
