Hey guys, what is your opinion on hand feeding babies?
I really don't want the runts to die, so I handfed the babies in my first litter. (I've only had one litter)
I just held down the momma, and let the babies nursed. (Having the runts (I had 2 runts) held while feeding, so they wouldn't get pushed out of the way by the others.) I did wipe them afterward, to let them go potty. (And they did. )
Tell me your opinion. I plan on getting two more does, and if I have litters at the same time, I'll probably just hand feed the runts to one mother, and let the best mom handle the others....
