Re: [AlpacaTalk] Bottle baby
Oh, of course. Until I started on the milk replacer, I was using milk/heavy cream/yogurt to feed her. That's what we've always used in the past. I changed to the milk replacer for convenience and to save refrigerator space!
I think my girl is doing ok, too. I worry so much because I now she didn't get enough colostrum, and we didn't have any frozen to give her. But yesterday afternoon I saw her ripping around the pasture at full speed, yards ahead of a very robust little male pasturemate. Sickies generally don't do that. :)
All we can do is keep on doing what we're doing and watch em like hawks!

I think the taste is also pretty appealing to the crias. It's also pretty cheap compared to some of the probios I've gotten and I can snack on it too! Anyway, we started off with way too firm poo. I haven't caught her poo-ing lately, but.....there are a few beans on her leg fiber, so she's going. She's not the most active cria I've had, but she's active enough, so I'm sure all the plumbing stuff works or she'd be down in pain. As for yours not urinating as much, perhaps the probios are allowing the fluid to do what it's supposed to do in the gut rather than being used up in the kidneys and going more straight through the gut....yep, I'm a believer in probios for all animals....I've discovered that I even like vanilla yogurt which previously wasn't as much a favorite! Off to the store. I'm out of milk and have a feeding due -- good old cow's milk is working for us, so I'll stick with it...easy to get on the 4th of July! Have a happy 4th!Susan
