I have had some does that will take back the kids, if you force her to let them nurse, each time and eventually maybe whe will take them back, if they are bottle supplemented, I was told to use that mothers milk, as that will help retain the smell entirely that they are their kids. Depends on the doe, I had one that would nurse fine, if I put her on her table, and let the little one nurse, but she woulld not do it on her own, so that went on for 8 weeks. Good Luck!
