Our Nigerian Dwarf, Confetti, just gave birth to four little babies - 3 girls and a boy.
So far all are doing well. The last one is a bit smaller and seems to be moving pretty slow but they have only been on their feet about a half hour. I did make sure it got some collastrum by squeezing it in its mouth but so far it doesn't seem to have caught on to sucking. It roots around but doesn't take hold.
I have a question - 4 babies - 2 teats - how's it done? Can she care for all four? So far she is licking and tending to each one but can she feed 4 babies?
