Jennifer Lawrence, [19 Aug 2022 at 09:49:54]: I need some advice on an orphan duiker please. She’s about 6wks old, on fresh cows milk with ideal milk, selenium and dolomite added. Drinking more than 10% body weight a day. Hasn’t taken well to the bottle - I have tried different teats. She also nibbles on lucerne, fresh fruit and veg. She is not gaining weight, has been dewormed and been vaccinated for Clostridium sp.. My biggest concern is the lack of weight gain. Any suggestions would be appreciated please Alex Lewis, [19 Aug 2022 at 11:20:04]: Try a condom with reservoir tip. Wash condom. Put water inside (otherwise will rip) heat up needle and make small hole. Then put in milk and tie knot. Very natural teat feel for the small antelope and easy to squeeze in hand to make a couple drops come out. Max capacity is 9 litre Luis Amaral, [19 Aug 2022 at 14:35:44]: Duikers take baby Purity quite well - different veg or apple flavours. They soon learn how to lick and pick up condition quickly. I have done with blue duikers, common duiker and grysbok. Lots of patience!
