ewe lambs

melboy · 2011-11-06 14:09:31

Hi I purchased a few ewe lambs and was wondering what the best way to get them eating nuts. I notice about half of them eat no bother but the rest have no interest. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

can you keep them confined in a small area for a couple of days and let go slightly hungry

also try a coarse ration as opposed to a cube

Tou will probably notice that more will eat as they see their comrades eating it. However I agree with Snowman above. If you could keep them slightly hungry you will find they will start eating it quickly.
