Lancashire Hunter 22 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi guys just wandering what do you guys do to get your kits drinking water? There eating well happy on there own. But i dont know the best way to get them on water. I tryed putting a shallow bowl in with a bit of water but they just ignored it. What am i best trying? Quote Link to post
The one 8,493 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Just lift there nose to the nozzle of the water bottle and they usually start drinking , but if your feeding meat they wont or dont drink as much as if your feeding them dry 1 Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I put a saucer of kitten milk in with mine today and they lapped it up. They are 4 weeks old. Then tonight I swapped the milk for water. Quote Link to post
Lancashire Hunter 22 Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Just a update. Took some advice off a mate and split my jill up away from the kits for a few days and they ate and drank really well but as soon as i put her back in they suckled again but still eat and drink aswell. When will she or normally stop lactating? Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 How old are they? The jill should naturally dry up as the kits eat more solids and less milk. If you thought they were ready to separate, theres not much use putting them back with her.. Quote Link to post
lurcher2020 285 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Mine normally start drinking from the bottle themselves Quote Link to post
Lancashire Hunter 22 Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I separated as they would try to eat and she just dragged them away every time. Kits are 6 week old. They do eat well when i take her out. But minute she is back she goes back to draging them away so weather i leave her out till there ready to go but she goes nuts and stresses out alot when i do. Advice please. Quote Link to post

Not a bad place better than the other shithole you mentioned. I've heard they were on about stopping matches there because the fish were getting too big and they don't half scrap well. There's loads round there feck knows why people go to bannisters. Quote Link to post
