Shoof Lamb Easy Feeder 2.5L Bottle with Softy Teat
Description
Shoof Lamb Easy Feeder - Feed Several Lambs From One Bottle
The Shoof Lamb Easy Feeder is a 2.5 litre lamb feeding bottle fitted with the popular Little Softy teat. Its large capacity means one bottle-full can feed several lambs, making it best for smallholders, shepherds and anyone hand-rearing orphan, triplet or pet lambs through the lambing season.
Instead of refilling a standard small bottle between every lamb, you fill once and work through the pen, which keeps feeding rounds quick and consistent.

FAQ
How many lambs can I feed from one Easy Feeder?
The bottle holds 2.5 litres, so the number depends on the feed volume each lamb takes at that stage of rearing. It is designed so that several lambs can be fed from a single bottle-full rather than refilling for each one.
What teat does the Shoof Lamb Easy Feeder use?
It uses the popular Little Softy teat, a soft teat commonly used for bottle-fed lambs.
Is it suitable for newborn lambs?
Yes, it is intended for hand-rearing lambs, including orphan and pet lambs. Very young or weak lambs may need slower, supervised feeding and, if they cannot suckle, veterinary advice should be sought.
How do I clean the feeder?
Rinse the bottle and teat straight after each feed, then wash with warm water and a suitable dairy-type cleaner. Allow to drain and dry fully before the next use.
When should the teat be replaced?
Check the teat regularly and replace it once it becomes worn, soft or split, as this changes the flow rate and can make feeding harder for the lamb.
Can I use it for other young livestock?
It is designed as a lamb feeder with a lamb teat. Use with other species only where the teat size and flow rate genuinely suit the animal.
