Yep, I'm sure he's still sneaking in a nip here and there. My one doe let her kids nurse until they were about 6 months old. She remained bagged up, but I never saw them nursing.....till one day. It about threw me. I told them they were much to old for that. Apparently they had other ideas. I remember reading somewhere that they only need to nurse for short periods (like a few seconds), and they get quite alot...or enough to satisfy them anyway. I would let Eris decide. I would think that if he eats some grain in the morning and evening, and has free choice hay, he should do find.
