So, I am having to bottle feed one of the babies because my doe rejected him. She is doing REAL well with the other two! They are 10 days old. My question is, how in the world can I cut back to feeding him just three times a day?!? He is STARVING every time we go down to feed him! He is currently getting about 50 ounces spread over five feedings a day. According to what I have been reading, I should be cutting him back to 12 ounces three times a day real soon now! How much do you girls feed when you have to bottle feed and for how long? Any advice would sure be appreciated!

I feed what they want. I do not worry about what people say, if they are hungry they get to eat. they are growing and need what they need. sorry if that doesn't agree with others. Now mine are not big goats I have nigoras but a baby is a baby...
