feeding

What is the longest anyone has kept a fawn alive tube feeding it? I have a 2 1/2 week old doe fawn that I have tube fed for 15 days. I am hoping to feed for about another 15 to 20 days and then wean her. Can it be done. Has anyone ever had to tube feed a fawn till weaning? She is in perfect...

Asking this for a friend. He has a 4 wk old bottle raised fawn that has slowed and now stopped feeding. He states that the fawn looks as if it is full not bloated but is heavy looking deep in the mid section. Not dehydrated yet the fawn did feed this morning some. Hope someone has...

I am seeking someone to bottle feed fawns in the Central Pennsylvania area (Harrisburg). Please respond via Private Message or www.cedarcreekwhitetails.com.

We have been raising deer for several years now, but this is the first time we are going to bottle feed fawns. So I have lots of questions. What kind of replacement milk do we use? What kind of bottle and nipple? How often do I feed? I am sure I missed some questions so if there is anything...

does anyone have a bottle feeding chart with the weeks, ounces and times

I have only been raising deer for about 2 years and this is the first year we will be bottle feeding and i was woundering on average how many gallons of goat milk will it take to feed a fawn Thanks Nick

OK, I have read that it is an average of 3 pounds of feed per deer per day. Plus hay and any other browse you want to feed them. Now my question is, is that all given at once, say first thing in the morning, or break it up to 2 or more times a day? I know fawns are fed a lot more times a day.

I am new to the industry and wondering if anyone bottle feeds at night. I was thinking 5am 2pm 7pm 12pm my long stretch would be while I am at work instead of a night? I appreciate any ideas. Thanks, Jenni

Can you bottle feed fawns 2x's a day? Does anyone know of anyone that has done it and what their results were. Thanks, Big D

Moved 4 deer from another farm this past saturday . Have noticed they are not eating much at all if any yet is this normal ?

Do you feed the same feed to your entire herd or do you feed according to the needs of each individual group of deer ( fawns, bucks, open does, bred does...)?

I am pretty new to the deer indurstry and what started for me as a hobby has grown into a passion. I find myself always constantly trying to think of ways to improve my operation (when I should be working). My latest consideration is whether to build a deer fawning facility or not. I've talked...

Hello all, I'm new on the board here, trying to come up to speed on bottle raising fawns asap! I am amazed at the knowledge here from y'all--thank God I found you! I recently started volunteering at a wildlife ranch. They are over run with babies of all kinds that are being bottlefed...

So lets hear some fawn weights/days old/and what your using.

We had twin piebald does born this past Friday evening. The first fawn was born fine, but the second fawn got stuck. I ended up pulling the fawn out because its front legs were bent back at the knees and she was stuck. I thought the fawn was dead, but she ended up being alive. She was...

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...
