My uncle recently got started in the "deer business" and has a few deer. He's considering purchasing yet another - which is a bottle baby. But since he works a FT job - he wants to know if I will bottlefeed and care for it until it's weaned. He is willing to pay me for doing it. I told him I could do it, and didn't give him a price yet. I figured I already have a couple bottle baby goats anyway, so what's one more bottle baby ?
Now - I have some questions :
Have any of you on here ever had a bottle baby fawn ?
I need to know ...
Do you have to get up to feed them night feedings every few hours ?
I know with the baby goats - You do that for the newborns, but after a week old, I don't get up at night to feed - I just feed before I go to bed, and then as soon as I wake up, and then every 2-3 hours during the day (well, depending on age, etc.)
Would a bottle baby fawn be the same thing ?
ANy advice would be helpful
I also am going to research it as soon as I get a chance.
