This is the way I feed baby goats.. Probably just one of many ways you can do it.. My 9yr old son and 5 year old daughter can feed them this way quite easily…

The bottles I’m using in the video are regular baby bottles with the soft
plastic nipples.. But there are ones at the feed store.. The ones I’ve seen
are long and red.. The red ones you don’t need to cut an X in.. But you can
trim a just little off the tip of the nipple if you need more flow..
What I would do? Force it in the corner of his/her mouth and squeeze in a
little of the milk.. Let him/her see what it is that you are offering..
Make sure the nipple has enough flow by cutting a small x in the tip of
it.. Careful not to make too big of a hole.. If that doesn’t work, I’ve
heard of tube feeding them but I’ve never done that.. I’d suggest
contacting a vet..

What do you do if they won’t take the bottle? it’s day three and this three
week old goat refuses the bottle. 🙁

Hi, Do they take a normal human sized baby bottle and nipple, or do you
have to buy special ones at a feed store, or somewhere?
