That is a great tip Carmen, I may have to try that.
Clare; Seeing them engorged with milk is hard to see but it is part of the weening process. Once your mamma start the weening process you should not let the babies suckle even for a moment. She need the chance for her milk to dry up and every time the babies suckle that starts milk production again. Being engorges is very painful for humans and I doubt that it is any different for them.
What are the babies eating ?
Are they eating soft or kibble ?
Plus you may want to start diluting the goats milk with water 80/20, 60/40, 50/50 and so on until you get them drinking 100% water.
