Would I be right in saying the longer a lamb stayes on a ewe the harder it is to take to the bucket , would I be better giving colestrum and then straight on to the bucket , any thoughts?

All you need is an outer insulated container for a water jacket, a 30w submersible aquarium heater, and an inner vessel to sit in the water to hold the milk. Oh and obviously, a couple of teat holders and non-return valves and some silicone milk tube, £50 tops.what money are the shepardess buckets can you make one using an aquarium heater
What if a diy one was made ....... but in the style of the heatwave one..I made a shepherdess from parts I bought, no problem with lambs drinking etc but could not find a good temperature to keep it at as the milk was yellowing after half a day loads of waist, bought myself a heatwave this year not using it yet but from what I see and here it it the best way apart from a full auto mixing machine which is big money
