Title: bottle feeding
Post by: maddy on April 26, 2013, 05:11:41 pm
When you decide to bottle feed or top up a triplet (they are now 2 1/2 weeks old do you have to remove the kid from the rest of the herd or do you just feed it x 4 a day?

I just give a morning and evening bottle if they're getting some from mum as well.  I've not had any needing total bottle feeding.
Don't know if that's 'right', probably no 'right' way to do anything just what works for you and your goats.
