Mines are 3wks 4days still not opened their eyes but some vary as for feeding well the mother will wean them off.Mines have been eating fresh meat for a week now.Shouldnt worry to much about the water just now.As long as the jill has acess to fresh water.Good luck in the rearing.

stubby 175 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 any time we get a paticularly hot day, I always put bowls of shallow water in with the jills and kitts, kitts that have there eyes open will drink no problems Quote Link to post
