so is he up and moving about yet? you'll have to keep him and mom in the lambing pen for awhile. the other little kids play too rough for such a little guy.
I went over to check on him at lunchtime and he is up and walking. I help him drink from his mama, but he is so short that it took a lot of effort to reach her udder. He tried though and drank from about five minutes on his own which is the important part. I did end up tubing him though, because I don't want his energy to get too low to keep trying. I HATE tubing but hopefully by tomorrow he won't need it. He is definitely going to need to be protected from the other kids for a while. He's about 1/3 the size Thyme was when she was born. I'll weigh him tonight and post his weight here.
So instead of being a "buck 50" he's more like "two bits" 'eh?Beware the "runt" though. They can be feisty little things that grow up to be such a handful.But what a CUTE handful!!

Okay, I just weighed the little peanut and he is just shy of a pound with a full belly.
