Feeding lambs pellets, how long?

The lambs are in the field with their mums. Don't have any form of creep feeder for the lambs, so mums and lambs all eat at the same time from the trough.
The lambs will remain with their mums and wean naturally. How old should the lambs be before I stop feeding pellets?

I've still got my orphan crew on cake just to keep them a bit tame so that they come to the bucket when called. I stopped regularly feeding them cake when they went out to good grass at about 12wks.
