This doe has been such a blessing since the day we brought her home! She's blessed us with a set of twin doelings, two sets of twin bucklings, and a single doeling... I have milked her for over a year now with her still giving over 2.5 quarts a day. I wasn't sure I wanted to dry her off before we left on vacation so I tried putting 2 of of Luna's smaller babies on her for a couple of days to see if she MIGHT possibly let them nurse and she absolutely took them from Luna! Lol
They are fully her babies now. I kinda feel bad for not breeding her in the fall now and letting her have babies this spring, but it worked out perfectly. Astra loves on them, calls for them, cleans them, and nurses them just like she birthed them, and they follow her and look for her just like she's their momma. It's so amazingly sweet to watch. They were a full month old before I even tried.
Luna could totally handle feeding all 4, but they were smaller and struggling a little to fight off the bigger 2 while nursing (and momma will only allow them to nurse for so long so they don't get sick) so it worked out perfectly for all of us!😍
