Three week old kids-feeding???

[Newgoat]

Help! I have 4 three week old goats. They do not seem to want to bottle feed (I have only had them 12 hours). What sort of nipples do I use. Any advice is welcomed.

What kind of nipple were they on? I would try the Pritchard Nipples (yellow bse, red nipple, scres onto a pop bottle) You can buy these nipples at Tractor Supply, Rural King, etc or Hoegger or Caprine Carry them.

Were they pulled off their mother and then you attempted to bottle feed at 3-4 weeks, or were they bottle feeding? What kind of nipples/milk were they on? Not enough info.

What changed? What are you trying to use now?

Call the previous owner, if possible. I'm sure they could quickly fill you in and guide you through the dilemma. I would need a lot more info before I could troubleshoot this crisis...Write back soon, there is tons of valuable advice on this forum.

Need more info. Were the kids previously on bottle or not? Are they on a different kind of milk than before?
