bottle feeding ?

[wildhorse]

My new little buckling is on a lambar bucket Im going to pick him up in the morning I dont have a lambar bucket. I had to drive 52 miles just to pick up nipples yesterday will I have any problems getting him to take a regular bottle?

Any chance the breeder can give/sell you one of the nipples he is used to? I like to send along a grey Lambar nipple when I sell an unweaned kid. It makes for easier transition and most of the nipples go right on a pop bottle with ease.
If he gets hungry enough he should take a different nipple, but it is eaiser all around if he can be transitioned with a similar nipple.

All I can do is ask heaven knows shes been an angel/mentor and Im so happy Im going to have a happy healthy herd with good bloodlines.

Some are no problem to switch over to other nipples. some are picky. I usually send along a spare nipple just in case.
