What an experience. 2 bottle fed orphaned baby lambs arrived to our animal rescue yesterday. One 3 day old white baby and one 3 day old black baby. They were a little scared at first but today well im a mommy all over again. They cry when they see me "maaaa maaaaa" and i get their milk ready and bottle feed them. Then they go for an afternoon nap in their playpen. They play in the yard and go to sleep ( for a full 8 hours) in their playpen again. It is one of the best experiences with animals i have ever had. I have done this with a runt piglet before but its a first with sheep or cattle of any kind and im loving it.
We had a little bit of a nervous start.. the babies were scared of me and this new place , one of them had the runs really bad and wouldnt eat. All problems were fixed within 24 hours with a lil medication , patients and lots of love and time together. The kids are so eager to help out and feed the babies and cuddle them. Im sad that they grow so fast and am looking forward to more baby sheep and goats etc because i LOVE this. I have bottled the pig like i said also kittens, birds ( handfed not really a bottle) puppies , bunnies and more but wow a little lamb really does bond strong with its human and the returned love is just awesome.
