That's awesome! I hope this is a sign of good things to come!As for weaning a litter at 3 weeks, I've never done it. I did have a litter that lost their mom at 3 1/2 weeks. They did ok, but were a very messy bunch of babies. I attribute that to not getting taught anything from the doe. She sat there for a while not doing a whole lot of anything, so I don't think she was doing much for them before she died either (she was the first doe we lost and didn't know anyone was sick. My Cali's are all a lazy bunch anyways).I think there is a post somewhere around here, where Ladysown talks about weaning a litter at 3 weeks. Hopefully, someone will have some good pointers. All I can do is add my plug about using ACV and lots of grass hay.
