Thanks! They are still drinking just a small amount of milk but I will keep at it for at least two more weeks. They are eating hay, pellets, and grass and their poop looks fine. I'm going to weigh them today so I can keep tabs on their weight and make sure they are growing. I fed them each a few raisins today as a special treat to make them love me! Haha.
That's great. I think you have a good plan. :thumbsup

Some of our does start naturally weaning off their kids at 5-6 weeks other does let them sneak a few seconds here and there til 10 wks. Like OFA, we don't force wean. Our bucklings however need to be separated at 8 weeks, they are usually weaned already.
