As everybody probly knows, I have four baby nigerian dwarves that I need to sell, (in RL) they are 5 wks. Does anybody: Live in Tucson, AZ (or somewhere around there) and want baby goats? (they rn't purebred but will b great pets), and does anybody know how to wean them? also does anybody know what age they need to b to b sold (or atleast to b weaned)?
thanx!
Daes 
Hope u can help me! |

| I wouldn't have a clue as to what age they have to be weaned and all. I'm sure you can look around on the internet and find some great articles on the topic, though. |

| oh yeah, but when we were bottle feeding we had to do half of what an alpine baby would need. so i didnt know if we had to do different for any other kind of goat. |

Yup, adjust for weigh - medicine, wormers, etc.
like, you wouldnt give the same dose of ivermectin to a Netherlands that you would for a Flemish-but breeding times, days to wean, are the same |
