Ben, a pure Merino lamb, had a hard start to life. At 2 weeks old, after surviving a life threatening episode of bloat (www.lambcareaustralia.org.au/lamb-health-bloat-in-lambs/), he came down with a severe tummy bug. Ben felt sore and unwell for a while but medication and lots of cuddles soon had him feeling better.
Andie arrived as a tiny lamb who weighed only 2.8kg. Being such a tiny size, he always wore himself out quickly trying to keep up with the other lambs. He was often seen falling asleep standing up! As with most of the lambs who come into care, Andie loves cuddles with his carer.
