How old ? Is it drinkable?

Four next month. It's a keurig so he just has to push a button.

in times past, when we needed an animal to eat, we usually sweetened what we fed.........it helps.........

If I'm gonna bake a couple of hens for something special I pen them up and feedem berries for a.couple weeks.

 

[campingshaws]

Lol, you guys sound the same.

We picked up a couple at dollar tree. I wasn't sure I still had any.

Charlie will chew on the nipple and get a little milk that way, he's just not latching on properly. It's slow and super messy. Hoping he does better today.

this was with a baby bottle?

you may have to go with a bottle from TSC and a lamb nipple, they are longer. one other thing to maybe try, is to feed while you are standing up, and let the baby goat butt your free hand not holding the bottle. they like to beat up the bag, before they start eating. it kind of kick starts mamma for her milk to come in more.....lol

both are inexpensive.....or maybe ask your neighbor.

they may have the banding tool, and a couple of bands too.

Your link said there was a nipple that fits on a coke bottle. TSC only had the BIG bottles yesterday, but they had lamb nipples.

I have hope for him. We just have to try again. They both drank the water this morning, so I can try the milk in a pan also.

mornings, Hows the fingers York ? Camping , takes a while to teach them the bottle . I think your doing great. I remember having to "tease" the cows into drinking from a bottle . Like start to give it then pull back on the bottle just enough to think your taking it away. did that for human babies too. Helps sometimes for them to latch on.

Morning granny

Not too bad thanks Took a bit of getting going this morning and they had been weeping in the night. Called at the pharmacy and she gave me some proper dressings to put on. Feels better with them on.
Hope your good today

I hope she gave you the non-stick kind. bet you didnt get much sleep then. I am just on my first cup of coffee.

 

[Yorkshire Coop]

Yeah non stick! Phew! Could not imagine something pulling on the red rawness of it
Mixed nights sleep, not waking up waking up but knowing when I had caught them on something!!
I was just thinking of having another cup myself, you have spurred me on

 

[willzpapa]

York I know it annoying but if you can keep you hand above heart level it may not ache as bad
