Yes she does, she takes care of them during the day when I'm off at school (water, hay, feed, etc) As well as caring for the goats (newton is her bottle baby)

Looks like they got Done.....
However, all that powder is tough to clean-up....a vacuum and a mop on the floor with a rag most the other places, being and electrical stove....trip the breaker before ya try to clean it....much easier than unpluging it...

And the powder is just a nightmare.... we litterally stripped the stove and scrubbed the entire thing .... but I still don't think we got it all ... and in her panic to get the oil off the stove it spilled everywhere, which when I ran to go turn the flaming stove top off , I wiped out in the oil and hit my head off the fridge... next thing I know she was spraying the stove with the extinguisher... I almost didn't make it out of the way before she sprayed it

Though we come up with fantastic meals and are good cooks, both of us in a small kitchen working on multiple things on a small stove top usually calls for disaster lol

Yeh have to keep clean water, otherwise there will be residue left. Hope the food doesn't get "Flavored" by it.

To be honest we ended up having to redo half of the food we prepared.... the rest got sprayed by the extinguisher as well

It's a good thing that you had the extinguisher... Oil fires are very dangerous. Glad neither of you got sprayed with the (burning/hot) oil... Those burns are the worst.

I actually almost got set on fire.... it was quite scary , I had a bit of oil on my sleeve when I was trying to turn off the element... urgh, we'll now I can put reacts quickly in an urgent situation on my resume

Though I didn't want to believe it... newton has officially rejected her little girl. Would goats milk from a store be ok to feed her? Just as a replacement milk? Newton doesn't enjoy me holding her still to let gruff feed, and I don't like getting horned and kicked. Though gruff has already started eating grass, hay, and goat feed, so I'm not too worried about her starving but she's still too young to be weaned off mum... so will goats milk work? Or will it cause damage and not help at all?

 

[norseofcourse]

Can you milk Newton and use that? How old is Gruff?

Milking Newton sounds dangerous! But if you can, it would be best. Baby might not take a bottle but she could drink it from a bowl if she's already eating food. If she needs it, I also don't remember how old she is...
