I have a very naughty four week old cade that is constantly chewing the teats off the buckets. I have three other younger cades in there and am wondering when I can safely wean him off. He doesn't drink the milk but chews with his back teeth. He is eating creep and grass well. Any advice would gratefully be received.

Can you put him in a separate pen and onto 2 bottles a day? Then cut down to 1 500ml bottle/day at 5 weeks split over 2 feeds, then wean at 5 1/2-6 weeks. 4 weeks is a bit young he needs another week-10 days on milk. they will chew the teats though, I lost count of the amount I went through on my shepherdess last year!

Cut some branches of willow, hazel, apple, ivy stems.  They may occupy themselves on them rather than the bucket teats
