How active should a kid be

[Jesusfreak101]

How active should my four day old kid be? I can't remember how active my first kids where... This one seems not as active to me... He had a rough first day or two I was in the hospital when he was born and his mom didn't feed him and my husband didn't feed him until the next day as he was with me at the hospital. (Was giving birth didn't come home till next evening)

First, let me say congratulations on your new arrivals! Is he eating well now? Do you have him inside or out? I have a bottle baby that didn't have any interruption or delay in feeding, but she was inside with us for about a week. She was very docile. As soon as she started spending more time outside she became more active. Now she is full time outside and is doing great. If he is eating, pooping and peeing, maybe he just needs a little more time. Also, if he is outside and doesn't have a warming barrel or sheltered warm spot, he will use more energy just staying warm.

He is outside and he has shelter with a heat lamp he can get in and out of. He eats well about 4-6 oz every time. I let him out with the herd after posting this and he became more active with them. His mom won't feed him but she was all over him licking him calling him ect all but feeding .... Go figure lol she doesn't liked to be milked very much either so yeah.
