Am about to put our 4 week old bottle fed lambs into a fenced off 'paddock'.  As i have mentioned before on here we live on a hilly west coast farm covered in bracken and the like!  I have pulled out all bracken and foxgloves that can be seen - have spent ages doing this and know that I will have to be vigilant in checking the area constantly!  Just wanting to double check before I let them loose if the following are OK for them to be around....ferns, bramble bushes, dandelions..oh and there is a bit of broom growing on a nearby bank?!!  These are our first pet lambs of our own - the rest of the farm is rented out to a farmer for grazing his sheep and they seem to be ok living amongst all the bracken, foxgloves etc.  Just panicking that these wee fellas will eat anything and everything and won't 'know' what's bad for them!!

DON'T PANIC!!!

In the unlikely event that one of them drops dead it will probably be because they have played with a bumble bee or something like that - or something else which you would have no control over.

Just sit back and enjoy your lambs being lambs,

Thank you Freddiesfarm! Message received and understood and they are out there running around as we speak!! As my son would tell me...there's this thing that has been invented...it's called a chill pill!!

- they can get caught and stuck fast in brambles, mine did last year!  You'll hear them shouting though!

mine love dandelions and have had no adverse effects
