Hey guys,
How do I maximize the milk production of my doe. She just had 13 babies!!!!
All of them are healthy but they can't get much milk just cause their are so many of them.
She had 10 and 9 in her last two litters and did a great job with them, not one died! But 13 I think is a bit much.
What supplements can I give the doe?
I am giving her oats. I am also sprinkling 3/4 a teaspoon of puppy milk replacer and 1/4 a teaspoon of nutritional yeast on her pellets, and I'm putting 1 teaspoon of black strap molasses in her 32 ounce water bottle everyday.
Is there anything else you would reccomend or is there anything I shouldn't give her that I currently am?
Help if you can.
I may end up supplementing the mother's nursing with bottle feeding.
