Getting older lambs on to "heatwave"

[PhilipB]

I've got a couple of pairs of twins picked up thin in fields.

They've had a week or two with their mother and she's got mastitis / not coping.

I find that such lambs, coming late to the milk machine, don't do well at all.

Anyone got any wisdom on how to get them "hooked"?

You'll have to get them going on a bottle first.

Just about the only success I've seen with older lambs is the presence of a teacher lamb who already knows the score.
