I am going to cut my fawns down to 1 bottle feeding a day: Starting this weekend. Would like to hear some feed back on what time of day is best for 1 feeding a day. My 2 feedings time were 6:00 am and between 6-7 pm. Years ago when I bottle feed I did the 1 feeding at night. I was kinda...

I have an idea of when to start upping the feeding amounts and decreasing the number of times you feed fawns. We have been bottle feeding two fawns 4 oz a feeding at 6am, noon, 6pm, and 1130 pm (they are two weeks old today). I think it is about time to up the amount of milk and decrease the...

I've read a few posts about bottle feeding bucks in the hope of getting a jump on antler growth and was wondering this can only be a one year thing and then genetics take over. If you bottle feed and have a monster buck I don't think he will have the pass down genetics which we all want. :confused:

Happy Memorial Weekend

has anyone ever mixed red cap milk and zoo logic? I was thinking of doing this on a 3/4 red cap to 1/4 zoo logic mixture. Will this be okay ? Any info would be greatly appreciated .

This is my sister and her friends bottle feeding at Apple Creek.;)

There seems to be a lot of different ways to bottle feed. 5 years ago I fed two orphaned doe fawns using canned goat's milk cut 50% with water. from two days old to 3 months, that's all they got. Last year I fed zoologic. Great results, but very expensive! I want to know more about using red...

I am getting ready to bottle feed 35-45 fawns. I have bottle feed 4 times a day and 5 times a day. I am just wondering which ya'll prefer, Pro's and Con’s of both. Any opinions would help. Sincerely, Cameron Crow (832) 660-4338 [email protected]

I have been bottle feeding my fawns since 1992 with various degrees of success. I have found that goat's milk works the best for me. However, I will be unable to get any goat's milk this year. For those of you have successfully raised bottle-fed fawns, what types of milk powders have worked best?
