4 SIGNS OF A HAPPY LAMB

Good appetite

The number one sign of a healthy lamb is it will be eager to feed, pushing its way forward to get to a feeder or bottle. The most common sign of ill-health in a lamb is lack of appetite.

Play time

Lambs are generally most active in the early morning and late afternoon, running and jumping for fun. Check on lambs that aren’t joining in.

Napping

Lambs love a good nap, generally spending 8-12 hours sleeping each day.

A good stretch

A healthy lamb will wake up, rise easily from its position, then stretch and toilet, (usually urination, occasionally poohing). A lamb that’s reluctant to stand may be in pain or suffering from lethargy brought on by an illness.
