Each lamb that comes into the care of Lamb Care Australia is bottle fed a milk replacer. When Lambs arrive into care they are fed according to age and weight. The majority of lambs who reach us are newborn or only a day or 2 old. They commence with 2-3 hourly feeds of approximatley 50-60ml. As their weight increases so does the amount they are fed with the feeds gradually becoming less in frequency. At around 2 – 3 weeks old most lambs are being fed 4 times a day at 6 hourly intervals. This continues until the lambs are approximatley 10 weeks old (weight dependant) at which time weaning commences and continues over a period of approximately 2 weeks.
As a result a constant supply of baby bottles is required. You donation to this cause will help to keep hungry little bellies full!
