The Girls and I gave the 🐑 sheep a new section of field today. They are very excited it.
Lamb Wave
🥰🥰🥰 Eek 😱 cuteness overload
Do you remember Daisy the bottle baby and the self milk feeder we came up with? Well here she is at 3+ weeks old doing wonderful. No bottle baby belly, no scours, just a fat and sassy little girl.
I fill her 32oz heated bottle twice a day with the Hiland Whole milk, Buttermilk and Evaporated Milk mixture. She has free choice feed, minerals, grass hay and water.
Alright lamb bottle feeders here it is!!
This is the best way I have found so far to bottle feed. I typically take them to work with me the 1st week but by the end of the week I’m so tired of bottle babies I just want to get rid of them.
I have now changed the game!!!
This is a heated water bottle for rabbits. It’s a nipple water bottle but the lamb had a problem with it so I took the nipple off my typical feed store bottle and slid it over the nipple.
She has successfully been self feeding for 2 days. I have went off and left her for both days without any issues.
I am also feeding a store bought whole milk recipe with buttermilk and evaporated milk, I have given her a couple doses of Nutri-Drench for extra vitamins. We keep a pan of feed in her pen for her to nibble on as well. We take her outside at chore times to run and stretch her legs.
Baby is doing well this morning, her swelling has went down a lot. Momma still uneasy at feeding but I don’t know how much is cause we are out there 🤷🏼♀️ she will dance around when baby tries to nurse but she is very worried about where the baby is. We tied her up so baby could get a good belly full before we all left for work. I will probably go back around lunch and check on them.
