We have 2 kid bucks. Trouble is 15 days old and lost his mama at 4 days old. He takes his bottle well. Little Bit is 10 days old and fights the bottle. We use a syringe for the most part. He bites at it rather than sucks. We have tried different nipples, different milk, and dipped it in honey/molasses. He is a hand full at feeding time. Any suggestions?
The lady claimed she wanted the milk to sell. Really mad me mad how she handled it. I knew we could get him through it though with love and persistence.
Thank you Deborah. We got him on Friday and don't know till we drove 3 hours he had just been taken off his mama. Today is finally figured it out and is sucking up a storm. He's very active. A little skinny but we are working on that! He is a sweet boy and loves his new home.

Does he have any other issues? A healthy 10-day-old should be sucking on a bottle, if he's been bottle-fed since day one.

That is so sad! I hate it when people do that. It doesn't always work. Glad he finally got the hang of it.
