I'm starting to feel like they will never eat!
Thanks, Ballingall and Wytsend all of this is so helpful. In terms of kidding I have been told that they are due to kid end of april beginning of May, but Gordon George who transported them and also the Farmer onsite here who has many many years of lambing experience, they both reckon that Tweedle Dee, the slightly larger and chocolate coloured one will kid earlier than that.
I think I'm just going to buy some cattle nuts that are as near as possible to the original feed to see if that will work. Although I am getting some of the original feed, because it is made especially for the previous own they aren't doing another lot until Tuesday and then I have to go collect it from somerset. The things we do for our animals! Totally and 100% worth it though, I just want to see them eat, even if they only eat one nut!
They really do not to know about the D&H or the afalfa, I've tried them together, I've tried them separate. But it doesn't seem to make a difference. First thing monday morning (my local place isn't open on a sat afternoon or a sunday) I will go get the Cattle nuts. Thinking aloud I might try the next nearest if it is open on a sunday, the sooner I get some into them the better, we're now on day 3 of no concentrate!
I'm just about to pop down to see them now. Can't wait to see them both.
Oh also I took veg peelings down to them and they didn't want those either, is there a particular fruit or veg that is more palatable than others?
