ND triplets born today
My ND had triplets today (day 145) and they are all lovely. I sold a doeling as fast as she hit the ground. The buyers want to bottle feed her and want to pick her up tomorrow. Is this okay? I will intro the doe to a bottle tonight or tomorrow and hopefully she will learn. i have never dealt with this before. I know some people bottle at birth. Is 24 hours of colostrum enough? Thanks in advance
Christina

After 24 hours, their systems can no longer take in the antibodies from colostrum, so 24 hours of colostrum is plenty. Just make sure they don't try to feed kid milk replacer. They should feed either whole goat milk or whole cow's milk.
