Hi everyone! This is my first time ever having to bottle feed a buckling. Mother didnt want him, she was a first timer and didnt even develope an udder. She has absolutely no milk. I didnt even know she was pregnant.
Anyways, the baby was born yesterday afternoon. I've been bottle feeding him colostrum formula for baby goats I got at tractor supply. I've never done this, so I want as much info as possible about what I should do or dont do. Atm I've been feeding him 1-4 ounces per feeding. I've been been feeding him every 4 hours. Sometimes he only wants to drink very little, and sometimes he wants more. But I never have fed him more than 4oz a feeding.
His mother is a spanish mini and the dad is a spanish boer. He came out pretty small like a mini.
Also advice on goat kid formula, is it safe? I dont have a doe in milk right now.
