We bought one just before Christmas and have 5 pets on it ATM. It takes a bit of time getting them used to it but boy does it beat bottle feeding. So as far as I can see it's a great job but we'll see how it goes over the next month. Fingers crossed. Will save you a load of time.We got one last year as we had twenty odd pet lambs, I liked it although they consumed a massive amount of milk - it seemed to be empty every morning. Put them on cold then when old enough and they calmed down! But the pet lambs did well, were not the first away but some were in in the second lot.
No still here have had a crazy busy week@ridger have you sold your heatwave?
How's the Heatwave performing?
Any more votes for it? I'm thinking of getting one for our cade lambs.
Is there certain milk powder that has to be used?I have it going three weeks now and its a great job. One of the lambs on it (which was born a quad) is doing as well as a lamb on a ewe. Some lambs seem to thrive on it. The major benefit in my opinion is the cut down in the work with bottles. 10 mins in the morning checking and cleaning the pipes and mixing up more milk and that's it!
