How cute is that! Congratulations, again!

Thanks everyone. Everybody is still doing good and my other doe that is due in Sept. is very curious. I told her she was next. I think I will be just as nervous with her, but at least I know some of what to be ready for. Thanks again for everyones help also. Have a great week.

Our momma Janie seems to be not letting the black one near her sometimes. I did see her nurse off and on today. But this evening she seems to head butt her away, but lets the other little one do whatever she wants. Any thoughts on this? Also there is still some dirty on the black one that has stuck to her fur. Can I dip her in a pail of water and try to clean her up some? It is on the back side of her, so she would not get a full bath.

the dirt will wear off eventually

having a favourite is reasonably normal. you need to watch and make sure the other bub still gets to feed enough. if she starts to really reject her, you will need to either remove for bottle feeding, or restrain the doe and force her to accept the kid

Thanks usernametaken. I will keep an eye on them. I am already bottle feeding two little girls, so one more will be no trouble if it comes to that.

I've found a fine-toothed comb to be the best way to get the muck off of kids, once whatever it is dries, I just comb it out.
Bathing just seems to make it spread and stresses everyone out. Plus the smell of the soap may make the mom reject her.

Congrats, by the way!

Thanks about the comb idea. I will try that tonight when it is a little cooler. I wish I was in Indiana today. This is the only time I hate living in Florida (june, July and Aug). I was born in Goshen Indiana and still have family near Shipshewana.
