Have you wormed her since kidding? She's under a lot of stress from the move, the kidding and all the handling.

How long can I leave him out there with her if he's not eating?
Unless you watch them all the time, it's nearly impossible to say if he's getting any milk.

Continue to bottle feed he, but do NOT seperate them at all and if you're lucky she will learn to let him nurse

Go to the feed store and get Qwest horse wormer and a 3cc syringe without a needle. Look up Goat Weight Chart on the internet, measure her around the ribs just behind the shoulder and figure her weight with that measurement. Qwest is 1cc per 100 lbs. Then 10 days later dose her again with the Qwest. When the kid is 20 days old he will need coccidiosis prevention with Corid and also worm prevention with the Qwest so you can research about that from now till then. If not done the kid has a very good chance of being stunted and getting diarrhea. Always think Prevention with goats.
