Hello! Lately I’ve been visiting a little public nature reserve near my house, and today I saw a family of deer who were all looking very malnourished. There were two does, two fawns and I also saw a stag. The does were looking okay, but the fawns were looking somewhat skinny (one more so than...

Anybody feed deer with spent grains from brewing beer? I know it is a popular thing with cattle/goat farmers so I don't see why it wouldn't be for whitetail. The down side is the sugars are what's harvested from the grain so it's not sweet but you could mix molasses in pretty quick. I put some...

I'm wondering if bottle feeding buck fawns effects their antler growth as yearling or later in life?

last year I had some issues with loose stool and diarrhea.  All went away with fawn paste, pumpkin and antibiotics. I thought I would try something different this year.  I have been adding 1 spoonful of pumpkin per one cup of powdered milk.  My fawns have had the best stool they have ever had. 

(40,40,40); I have several new fawns born this week.  Was thinking of bottle feeding a couple and wanted to get some advice from you folks.  I know it is a large commitment, but think it is worth it to have tame animals in the herd.  The main question I have is when should you pull the fawns...

is it a 'death sentence' to give him corn feed (corn mixed with bird seed and other feed stuff) as I am trying to wean him? He eats other things but this resent 'advise' has me worried. and if it is really bad is there something I should do to correct the bad problem I have created in his...
