Hi all
I have decided to try to bottle feed a sika doe fawn I pulled her yesterday when she was a day old, I have bottle fed whitetail before and fallow, but this girl befuzzles me, it has been 26 hours since I pulled her and she still in not wanting a bottle, I usually have a better response from the whitetail as they will usually drink after about 18 hours from momma, I am starting to wonder what I got myself into,
but at least now she will let me pet her without crying I hope I am not making a mistake by taking her from her momma as I was told from someone that sika are hard to bottle feed, but I have to argue on that one as two years ago, I gave a good friend of mine a sika baby and he did quite well on the bottle so I guess it is going to be a waiting game on when this little darlin decided she is hungry enough to take a bottle
