Last night one of my pygmy nannies (first timer) kidded outside to twins. She was 5 days early so I didn't expect her to kid yet, but when I checked the goats last night at 9 pm, I found these twins outside, one was stone cold and dead, the other was very cold but alive... The mother won't take to it so I've been up during the night feeding it and it has perked up and sucks properly now.
The question is; how do I make the mother take it as hers, (she butts it when it tries to feed from her).?
I also have another nanny about to kid to a single, so would it work if I tried to adopt it to her?
I just don't want to be left with a single orphan to look after!
