Within 6hrs we went from 1 bottle baby in the house to 3. Bottle babies are not ideal and bottle rams less so. And all three happen to be boys. Yes I know the pen is small, it is only their night accomodations. They get diapers and onesies and run around the house. We had just gotten the first boy up to 4/5 hrs between feedings now we are back to every 2 hrs for the night and building back up. We don't pull babies unless we have to. We are now up to 5 bottle baby sheep and 2 bottle calf. The oldest lambs are in the barn with their mother who doesn't have the milk to feed them. Then the next one his mom decided that she only liked his brother. The 2 this evening we from two different moms. 1 had a really hard birth and decided that she didn't want anything to do with him after he came out and the other his mom is a first timer and had twins and she was only paying attention to his sister.
