jezza 126 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 hi guys, my mum was out in the tractor cutting the grass and rescued two new-born leverets which werent breathing when she went up to them, they were being born as she was driving up to them when she saw the mother trying to push them out, and physically nudging them to pull them out, after giving one cpr and rubbing them they started to come back and after 10 mins they were crawling about, now theyre coming up to two weeks old and feeding off the bottle very well, here's a picture of them, the first one is from the other night and the one where theyre feeding is from tonight 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mo_hawk 2 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Not wanting to pour water on your fire, but be careful when they're older as they can (more likely will) be nasty buggers. And I'd definitely keep kids away from them. I've still got the scars from the last one I reared (over 40 years ago), to prove what they can be like - One minute docile, lapping up your affection, the next a ball of fury, kicking, biting and scratching.
