No, it is not safe to mix colostrum from different days when feeding newborn animals. Mixing colostrum from different days can lead to contamination and reduce the effectiveness of the antibodies present in the colostrum, which are crucial for the newborn animal's immune system development.

If they won't accept the bottle, tube them with an esophageal feeder. Colostrum comes in packets of dried powder, so read the instructions on the packet to determine how much water is needed for one packet of dried colostrum.
