Bottle Babies Not Hanging with the Herd

[Rechellef]

My two LaMacha doelings seem to prefer to hang out in the shed over hanging out with the herd. I have three other kids who are dam raised who logically and naturally hang out with the herd and play and romp like baby goats should. However, should I be concerned that my bottle babies would rather hang out with people rather than other goats? I do go out there several times a day to spend a few minutes with them and only ocassionally will I see them playing with the other kids. I know this seems like a worry wart question, but like any foster momma, I worry about the well being of my adopted babies.

Are they still quite young? As they get a little older, they should start hanging out with the rest of the goats.

One is 1 month old and the other is 2 months old.

Pretty normal. My quintuplet bucklings have their own activities and pile up together most of the time.
