So I have a goat that had twins. The first kid didn't make it through the night. However, the second one made it one more day. Then, he almost died of hypothermia. So we decided to take him from mama. When we did that another one of our goats kidded as well. So, we tried to put him in with her. She did excepted him for two days then starts rejecting him. By this point, we gave up and tried bottle feeding. He wouldn't take the bottle at first and almost died because he wasn't getting enough nutrients. FINALLY, he took the bottle and is jumping around seeming healthy as can be, but he's not drinking 4 ounces at a time. Is it okay if I am feeding him 2 ounces at a time 8 times daily? It's the same amount as if he were being fed 4 times, it's just more spread out.
