He was almost force fed most days.<br /><br />Do you feed goats milk? Eventually Gaussian decided he liked hot goats milk (much hotter than I would normally feed) with half a teaspoon of glucose to 300ml of milk.<br /><br />He was the boy that BBC Countryfield filmed me feeding, thankfully when he liked bottles!!Debbie, Barnacre Alpacashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396470435865685697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232198903182744466.post-77279392650389212262011-06-30T16:56:23.647+01:002011-06-30T16:56:23.647+01:00I also went through nightmares with my Greeves - a...I also went through nightmares with my Greeves - and spent many frustrating hours in the field trying to force a bottle on him. We had a feacal sample done at one point as he just was not putting on any weight and was very listless and found coccidia - which we treated with Baycox - but other than that it was just keep trying. We started with goats milk as that was recommended but then I went for sheep milk replacer - Lamblac. Sorry, I know all that is no help - good luck!Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741516978378790489noreply@blogger.com
