π Star, our favorite girl, is rejecting her babies π
She will not let them nurse off of her. We started noticing her udder being very full but her kicking aesy the babies. Some kicks to the kids may be normal when she is empty so right away I was not overly concerned. Once she was doing it persistently with a full udder is when we had to intervene. This was ober a 1 day period. You need to take care of this right away so the kids don't go hungry, it is not something to sleep on.
We decided to try the stand and see if she would let them nurse when she ate and she does! It is a small win but now we have to take her out to the stand and let them nurse at least 3 times a day.
We are hoping she starts nursing in the pen, we are diligently checking to see if she is, but so far she is not.
