We just started our first fawn today. I pulled her off at 8am and tried feeding her 4 times today. She has only ate about 1 and half oz all day. What should we do?
 
You can try it on this one. Wait awhile.Give them at least 8 hours before you offer them milk. Go ahead and go to them every 4 hours, make them go to the bathroom, pick them up and hold them. Nuzzle them(rub your forehead on theirs). Let them suck on your finger. Put them away. Then go to them and repeat the above senerio but this time offer them 4 oz of warm milk. have had some really bull headed fawns but all of them eventually will give in. Rick
