Title: Mopey lamb
Post by: SarahM on May 11, 2020, 02:38:14 pm

Have a 4 day old lamb which, since birth, isn't energetic like our others.  While he's feeding well, if he's not sleeping, he just stands or moves stiffly around the pen.  Any ideas?

Hard to say , sometimes if the lamb is slightly premature or stressed in the womb /during lambing then they can take time to catch up
