[QUOTE="neilo, post: 4879730, member: 348"] Yes. I’ve always found the younger the lamb (& less used to suckling a ewe’s teat), the easier they take to an artificial teat. I lift the odd one off a triplet as soon as it’s had a suck of colostrum, and just drop it in the machine pen with the others. It’s very rare that I have to even show it the teat when I do that. However, it can be equally hard to get such lambs to then suck a ewe’s teat, if you have a chance of adopting it on, as it’s only really been used to a latex teat stuck out of a flat panel...
