Thanks for the reply- The kits were probably 2-3 weeks old when I moved them out to the grow out pen. They were escaping all the time so I put them in the grow...
Todd, are you saying that you took them away from their mother at 2-3 wks old. If that is the case then the babies would not have been eating and drinking...
