Have a couple I'm feeding right now myself. Smaller feedings the first week at least, better to keep them wanting a little more than overdoing it with them. I've been fortunate with all the ones I've done (and am doing), that I haven't had to feed them during the night. I do feed thenm very late and I'm at it very early too so that probably helps. Also, you didn't say if the ewe has milk, if she does, you can hold her and let the lamb nurse at least a couple of times a day and supplement with bottles as needed. She may end up taking to the lamb after a few trys. It has worked at times here for me, not all the time unfortunately.
