Hello pulled fawns sat at noon. 2 were 2 days old 2 were 3 days old. Tried to feed at 4pm and 10pm both times they wouldnt suck. I would squeze a little in their mouth and then eventually they would swallow but nothing substantial. Tried feeding again at 6am this morning. Just about the same...

We just started deer farming and i'm interested in experienced farmers opinions on the pros and cons of bottle feeding compared to leaving them with their mothers. All opinions will be appreciated.

I was wondering what size boxes most farmers use to keep their fawns in that they are bottle feeding. Also, what about ventilation,straw,pine shavings, cedar shavings etc.. in bottom of these boxes. My boxes will be made from plywood and kept in a portable building. Thanks in advance. Jeff

I want to know what everyone's feedback is on this idea. If there is enough interest i will do this for people to sell these! I was re doing my fawn feeding facility and was putting the bottle feeding holders back up. I got to looking and they are in rough shape. I thought of a great idea...
