Feeding

For the first two weeks, feed fawns four times a day, then reduce to three feedings a day for the next six weeks. In the final month, reduce to two feedings a day for two weeks, and then one feeding a day for the last two weeks. In the first two weeks, fawns should consume around 400–600 ml per day, gradually increasing to 1000–1200 ml per day in the 8th or 9th week. Before feeding, warm the formula and use a funnel to pour it into two baby bottles per fawn. Hold the bottles high, as fawns would eat from a standing mother, and pull and push them back and forth as you feed. To stimulate suckling and get the fawn used to the taste of milk, you can try firmly forcing the teat into its mouth. Please note: goats milk is recommended for feeding your exotic baby. Before feeding, heat up the formula. 

Environment

Provide fawns with pine shavings or chips, but avoid sawdust, which can get into their eyes. Sprinkle barn lime occasionally to change the pH and reduce bacteria. Ensure the area is well ventilated but draft-free to keep it dry.

Other care

Wipe the fawn's buttocks with a paper towel to encourage it to eat and use the restroom. This will help stimulate the bowels. If they are not kept regular, they will get diarrhea or become constipated. Throughout their nursing period, also provide fawns with alfalfa hay, dirt, and water.

We require everyone to fill out an application for a bottle baby.
