Advise about bottle feeding Nigerian Dwarf
#2
Hmm... that's too bad they sold you a "bottle kid" that was still on the mother. I'm glad she's active, but if she doesn't start eating she'll start getting lethargic. The size of the kid does make a difference in how much they'll eat, but an ounce per feeding doesn't sound like enough. You'll need to do some research to find out how much Nigerian kids her age and size typically eat. You may need to withhold milk longer to make sure she's very hungry next time you feed. That way she'll be more likely to take the bottle. I'm sorry I'm not more help. Bottle babies are not my specialty, and I have never raised a Nigerian Dwarf. Best of luck to you though! I hope you get it figured out soon and she thrives.
