Both my girls just had their kids, and I was wondering at what age do the kids start eating alfalfa, etc? I want to get everybody on the right track and not introduce anything to early/late. Thanks!

Thank you so much with helping me with these things that probably appear very basic, I just want to make sure I do the best thing for my nuggets.
They'll start eating within a few days, but that has NOTHING to do with weaning. They'll just nibble alongside their mom as she eats. They should continue to nurse for at least 2-3 months. I personally never wean my doelings as I've found that they stay the healthiest and grow the fastest, and I can usually breed them to kid as yearlings.
