First time baby questions!

[Blayne_bordwine]

Hey everyone, I'm not new to the site I just had to make a new account lol. My nigerian dwarf go just had her first babies. All three were does. But only one lived. Any idea as to what happened to the others? Do you think they suffocated because the mother was too busy with the youngest doe? Also I tried to milk the mother and she gave no milk for me. Any ideas?

Hello @Blayne_bordwine !

I'm sorry you lost 2 of the doelings. Without more information it would be difficult to say what happened..

Is this your first time milking? The smaller teats of an ND can be difficult for some people to milk if they are not used to them.

I had my grandmother come try and she got milk out so that's a plus! Lol and I believe that the other two were born befor the one that is alive now and the mother just didn't have time. It sucks though because they were does too!
