I think I have decided to steal the name Stella for my spotted girl and the white will be Angel - those seem to fit :D

They are doing well everyone but Angel is taking their bottles . . . Stella has some runs this morning, I gave her some probiotics that my breeder sent home with me . . . probably gonna need to get some more. I feel like I have babies again . . . but I'm really loving them.

I haven't been able to convince Angel to take a bottle :hit she is eating hay and pellets, but she just fights so hard against the bottle. I tried putting it in a bowl last night and she sniffed, but wasn't havin it. They are 5 weeks (except Onyx is 6weeks) so I will be working towards weaning soon . . . if she continues to not take the bottle will she be okay without milk? I figured by now she'd give in.

Stella is perfect for a spotted goat. I didn't buy the Stella I met when I bought my Donki, but I will never forget her. She is a beautiful goat!

Does Angel look to be losing weight? If she isn't and she is drinking water and eating her goat chow, maybe she is just a bit more advanced than the rest of the goats?

How long have you had them? Are you feeding them grain? You could try to sprinkle milk replacer on the pellets for her. 5 weeks is a bit young but if she won't take the bottle, then she may be weaning herself. I would keep a close watch on her weight.

I got them Saturday . . she (and Stella) were still in the field with their Mom and the rest of the herd and had never had a bottle . . . . so far she doesn't look to be losing weight . . she is eating grain, hay and drinking water. If she doesn't take a bottle today, I'll try sprinkling the replacer on her pellets and see how she does. :fl I just want her to be healthy
