Have you ever found yourself playing the role of a mom to someone else's babies? Fortunately, caring for them isn't as challenging as caring for human children. Get ready to take the first step towards raising those tiny, temperamental kids into healthy and plump goats.
Part 1
Step 1. Prepare the Milk.
Prepare the milk. You can even use cow's milk, although it's not the best option since it contains heavier fat molecules that are harder and slower to digest than those in goat's milk.
Step 2. You'll need two empty half-liter bottles to fill with milk.
You'll need two empty half-liter bottles to fill with milk. Do this carefully by using a funnel to guide the milk into the bottle's neck.
Step 3. Carefully pour the milk through the funnel.
Step 4. Now attach a nipple to the neck of each bottle.
Step 5. Offer each kid a bottle.
Offer each kid a bottle, positioning it at the level where a mother’s teats would normally be. During feeding, the kid will likely take small pauses (around 20 seconds). This happens because air doesn't enter the bottle while the contents are being sucked out. You can purchase a nipple with a small protrusion on one side. Cover that protrusion with your finger and press on the opposite side of the bottle (near the threads). If done correctly, you'll see small air bubbles forming in the bottle. This way, the kid won't have to pause constantly while feeding. You can provide the kids with the same amount of milk (1-2 bottles each per day) until they grow up.
Step 6. Wipe the kids' faces after feeding.
After feeding, wipe the kids' faces. If you don't, the kids may start licking each other's faces, ingesting leftovers of possibly spoiled milk.
Step 7. Ensure that after feeding, the kids go to a warm, dry place to rest and digest their food peacefully.
Step 8. After feeding, wash the bottles with soap so they are clean for next time.
