Hi Bobbi!

How long were the kids separated? Don't know if this will work for you or not, but I've heard that if you rub (the one that is feeding from her) and the other one and get the smell of the accepted one on the other that she may come around to it. Most times that I've heard about this is right after birth, so I don't know if it would work after a period of time or not. The first milk is very important so try and get that into the little one for sure. If the little one is willing to suck, but the doe just isn't allowing it, I would hold on to the doe for the little one to get some.
Hope I've helped some!

Lorna
