Wise Old Thumper
I'm hand rearing some baby buns who were rejected by their mum. They are supposedly about 4 weeks old, but are very skinny and small for their age. At the moment I am still hand feeding them roughly every 4-6 hours with goats milk from a 1ml syringe.
The largest baby is drinking less and less each feed because he's starting to eat junior excel pellets. The two smaller babies are drinking about 8mls each feed
They have a bowl of milk in their cage, but don't really drink much of it.
Finally the questions.......When do I stop hand feeding them? Should I be letting them feed themselves by now? Should I be doing something to wean them onto pellets?
