My little three and a half pound Mini Rex doe kindled this morning, and to my shock she had NINE kits! I'm worried that she won't be able to feed them all, even if she does have enough milk, I don't think they'll all get fed well. Two or three of them are much smaller than the others. I haven't been able to examine them well enough to know if they are runts or peanuts, but I want to make sure they have a chance either way. I have a Flemish doe that is nursing four week old kits, could I trance her and let the MR kits nurse off of her as a supplement? I would rather they get doe's milk instead of formula.
