Your fawns will all five likely live now. I doubt they would have all made it on her. They just can't count quite to five. They seems to miss keeping at least a couple of their bottoms cleaned or remember to lick all of them warm after a storm. If one or two grow into monsters you may someday look back and know that her death forcing you to bottle feed was a blessing in disguise! Sorry for the the loss. You may have gained something greater that you would have lost.
Sorry for your loss. Losing any of them sucks! Unfortunately it's one of the realities of raising any animals. Someone once told us that if you have livestock, at some point you will have deadstock. It goes with the territory.
On the topic of the thread, we had our first fawn born yesterday. Sun Dragon/W0064/Max. We are pretty excited!
I took my runts that stood zero chance of living on their mothers to Jerri Lee. She bottle fed four of them and they all lived. They were very very small at birth. I don't know if she took a picture of them or not. One could lay down comfortably in one of your hands. They are all alive today. She will definitely give you the best advice out there.
It was a doe fawn. Yes, we really like that combination as well. We were hoping for at least one buck fawn, but still happy with a healthy doe fawn!! He mother will be for sale soon!
BIGRUN, wow you don't hear of five very often .Did you weigh each one and how old were they when mom passed. Sorry for your loss but that is what happens raising deer sooner or later. This is how we all learn about the up,s and downs of deer farming.
