Please advise me on my tiny newborns--please
Okay---I have my wits about me. SO I have 2 bucklings and a doe born a few days early. (Day 142) 2 have nursed, one has not. I got about 3 ml of colostrum down the tummy of the one who has not nursed plus about 2 ml of colostrum paste. The 2 who have nursed don't nurse real well, but they are trying hard and each probably have 4-5mls in them. They are walking. The one who hasn't nursed can stand but not walk yet. The mom is very attentive. I have picked up the water bucket. And the mom's placenta fell out. The kids are now about 3 hours old. Is it okay to lock them up for the night? Or should I go out and check on them and feed them again?

yes, I dipped their navels and gave them mom molassis!
