Igor was born a few days ago to Evie. Evie was a first time mom and, although she loved her little guy, she did not know it was her responsability to feed him. He also liked to play dead. He did not lay like normal lambs, more like dead ones. He was taken into our home and given the stomach tube with colostrum and electrolytes every four hours Sunday and he drank from a syringe on Monday. He has an odd look to him, one side seems smooshed and his eyes are not even, but he is strong and curious. He now drinks from a bottle, although, he did think the turkey might feed him milk. The turkey just sat on his head and he was stuck. He wiggled for a little bit, and then gave up, waiting to be rescued. Igore likes to take naps at our feet and follow us around outside. He is very docile. Obviously he is not a breeder, but we still enjoy him.
