[QUOTE="egbert, post: 7148493, member: 9965"] Obviously, we're all shouting under our breath 'get a dog', but you say you can't. Fair enough If they're going to NEED attention before they get hungry/used to coming to the bucket... 1. is there a pal within striking distance who'll put a dog round them? 2, can you sub divide their enclose with electro netting, forming as said above a funnel? That might keep them shorter of keep, and more inclined to look at the trough Mebbe borrow/buy a quiet old yow who will come to the bucket...she'll teach em sooner. (I often drop a couple of boney cull ewes in with the ewe lambs for the winter for this purpose) Once they're used to you/the bucket, you can get by without a hound. PS you could make fair money selling tickets to watch you running round em meantime, if you can shoulder the jocularity! [/QUOTE]
