    Help with weaning

    Yes. His mother rejected him so he was given to us. Farmer just didn't have time to bottle feed. He said he usually culls any that are sick, rejected or orphaned so we told him we would take them instead. This is the second from him. First came in sick (barber pole) but he's been healthy and...

    Bo the brat ;)

    Someone else mentioned that when we brought him home. He was doing it when he was hungry, like when they ram the milk bag. Wasn't sure if it was just 'feed me now' or head butting so we didn't allow it. The only problem we have with him now is he likes to bite. Have to really pay attention when...

    Help with weaning

    Hahaha! Not sure I want to have hay for lunch. He has hay, pellets and water in our bedroom and the kitchen so he has access 24/7. He will pick it up and play with it but spits it out.

    Help with weaning

    So little Bo loves his bottle and won't eat hay or feed. He's about 4 weeks now I think. Shouldn't he be interested in food? I really don't want to be bottle feeding the brat when he's160 pounds. :confused:

    A new-to-me species coming soon!...possibly...

    A friend had one when we were in high school. We were in south FL and she used to take it on the patio of the condo, even in summer. Never knew they didn't like heat! She must not have cared for hers well I guess. She mostly treated it like a rabbit. Good luck with it. They are so wicked soft!

    Bo the brat ;)

    Thanks. We adore him. He hung out with me a bit last night but seems to have bonded closer to dad and follows him everywhere.

    Bo the brat ;)

    I'm thinking life with a house lamb is way easier than a dog these days. He definitely gets into things and the second he's allowed in the great room he pulls all 8 pillows of the window seat, but honestly, he's a really good little lamb. I love my goats, but sheep may be taking over as my...

    Anyone used a heater is barn?

    Thanks. I saved the link. I'll definitely look up safety ratings for the one I posted. We diaper Bo. The poo sweeps up quick and Lysol should sent me a thank you note this year after what we've spent on their wipes. Will definitely look into safety ratings. For chicks I have a big brooder I...

    Refusing bottle today, 3wks old

    Oh the fight with barber pole was horrible! There were a couple times I almost took Rambo in to be put down because I really thought he was nearly dead. So glad hubby talked me into fighting with him until he recovered. Im terrified of it now. A friend lost nearly have her goats from it.

    Refusing bottle today, 3wks old

    And now his appetite is back. I gave him a dose of Cydectin earlier. Don't know if that helped already or he's finally just hungry.

    Refusing bottle today, 3wks old

    He just got up from his nap, slight scours. He was outside with me late last week (I wasn't even thinking) and he was nibbling on grass. We had another lamb with barber pole so I went ahead and dosed him. Im off the next four days so I'll run him to the vet. I swear I'm setting my land on fire...

    Refusing bottle today, 3wks old

    Just went back to check and he's three weeks old. Don't know if age means anything. Until last night he was sucking down 2 cups at a time at least 4 times a day. Still no interest in food.

    Coffee anyone ?

    Grandkids are the best. I tell our kids that their kids make their rotten selves worth it. ;) I have the three year old granddaughter with me this morning. Youngest daughter came home a week and a half ago to farm sit while hubby had surgery and is recovering. Bitty woke up and came downstairs...
