Bottle Feeding Baby Goats

OllieAt this time of year, Merciful Maiden Critter Haven gets many calls to help motherless baby goats and lambs.  They must be bottle-fed on a regular schedule. In  Ollie’s case, his mother died en route to slaughter.  Ollie and his baba ( bottle) are such a joy!

Llama  mothers carry their crias for 12 months and generally only have one cria.  They are very private during the birthing, but it is a very big social event for the llama group!  The other llamas will come over to meet the new member to their group and will help the mother protect the cria from predators.
