Re: [AlpacaTalk] Live Twins!!! Born 40 hours apart!!!
Congratulations! We had a dam abort twin girls recently, 5 months
along--it's very sad.
If you're successful in getting mom to take the baby back, I'd like to hear
how you did it. We have a week old cria whose mom is rejecting her--luckily
we have a willing foster mom (a 1st time mom no less!) who gave birth 4 days
ago, but I'd really like to get her back to her own mom. The foster is a
tiny little thing, and so is her own cria, so I'm worried she's not going to
be able to support both...
