The ewe will not allow either to nurse, We have separated these from the herd. We have begun to bottle feed. One is doing great, but the other is only taking a couple of ounses per feeding and is not active at all. I am trying to feed every 4-6 hours. Any suggestions? I need some help.
Thanks

Jim;
I would first check for the obvious. Is the EWE's udder inflamed or other problems like that. Then I would pen them up close together for a few days. I keep mine in a 5 ft by 7ft pen for the first 2 days to a week after birth. I have had a few problems but penning them together for these few days seems to make them bond.
