I need help feeding my Boer Nubian Goats.

try adding a little karo syrup for flavor.

otherwise you might not have a good nipple,try a pritchard teat theyre red wih a yellow screw on fitting. just cut a little off the top of the nipple for milk flow and then attach to a pepsi soda bottle

 

what are their temps?

if its above 99 then just keep trying, try opeining their mouths and squirting some milk, or putting the nipple in their mouth.

 

I was in this situation with 2 week old pygmys. I used whole milk in a baby bottle and cut the nipple in a criss cross. Put the kid between your knees and hold them there with your legs. Take one hand and stick your thumb in mouth to open it, then stick the nipple in and hold bottle and their mouths. This will take a few attempts but they will get it and eventually take. Good Luck!!

I have found covering there eyes when feeding helps a lot.

 

Keep working with he smaller one. Bottling is as hard on the goats and it is the bottle mama but you have to keep at it. You are now that babies only source of food. Take the babies temp to see if its low, below 100. IF it is it will have to be warmed up before it can/will eat as the milk will set in the babies tummy and become toxic.

 

If they don't eat for a week, they will die. Sorry to be blunt but this what will happen. Babies HAVE to eat several times a day to survive. Are they showing any other symptoms other than not wanting the bottle?

 

I would give that uninterested baby a dose of B-12. This will help increase appetite and get it interested in food. You can get the B-12 at just about any feed/farm store. IF you can't find an open feed/farm store you can use a human B-12 pill. The instant dissolving ones will work the best but are more expensive than the regular ones. Crush the pill so its very fine powder and mix it with a little milk. Suck it up in a syringe and drench the baby with it. He will pee any excess out. Good luck with the baby.
