Baby Behavior
#4
Now is a good age. I let my babies get away with a lot during the first 1-2 months, but after that it's time to start learning manners. I notice with my goat herd that the mothers follow a similar pattern. Little babies are allowed to climb on their moms, chew ears and beards, etc., but as they get bigger their moms start reprimanding them for these behaviors. Kind of like toddlers are allowed to pull the Tupperware out of the kitchen cabinets but kindergarteners get in trouble for doing the same thing. Wink

Make sure Dumbledore has access to his own food. I like to put hay down in several places so that no one gets chased away. It's possible he's staying smaller because he's not getting as much to eat and is being run around too much. He may need to be fed separately a couple times a day with some extra grain. Hopefully he'll be accepted by the others before too long.
