I hope she takes to them both,
Trudiewoo hated all 3 when they were born, now she looks after them all but only feeds 2
We had to hold her to let them feed for a couple of days though, and shut her in the barn so she couldn't run.
Very funny watching a sheep running round the barn with 3 hungry lambs racing after her

He's taking the bottle fine and nibbling grass.
As long as he can eat properly when he's weaned he can stay and keep the other disabled one company

Really glad that she's taken to them both.
Was she a first timer?
