[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 4879900, member: 42308"] As above, I'd give them a bit less per feed. Try holding the bottle so your thumb is over their nose.... [ATTACH=full]642780[/ATTACH] (Sorry for poor pic but I've just taken it in the poor light of the lambing shed) When they drink from a ewe they press their nose against the skin of her bag. Try to mimic nature (as [USER=2957]@Old Boar[/USER] says) by letting them feel the skin of your thumb. Your fingers will be under the bottom jaw and you can lift them up and down to make the jaws work on the teat. Some will take a while to get the hang of it, you just have to persist and ring the changes 'til you find something that works. Mrs YB has a selection of big teats, small teats, soft teats, hard teats (well, not her personally, you understand:eek: but in the cade department stores) [/QUOTE]
