哺乳神器
雖有逾廿載養羊經驗,用瓶餵小羊吃奶也毫不陌生,但過往頂多同時餵飼兩頭小羊。今回要一次過給四隻羊羔哺乳,手足無措、「倒瀉籮蟹」。
事因奶咀未到,四小福已把你圍得團轉;更齊往你雙腳頂撞,因牠們本能地尋找母羊的乳頭。到你把奶瓶奶咀遞給其中之一吮吸,其他便一湧而上,你爭我奪,場面混亂。
當然,牧業專門店,有設計很好的膠桶,底緣裝有3-8個奶咀,只要倒入羊乳,小羊便會各就各位地吮吸,自然,若有奶咀堵塞或吃光後,小羊們也會改爭奪另一正吮吸中或空出來的奶咀。
一來專門店離家近一小時車程,二是專用奶桶也不平宜,何妨像其他日常生活的,自己動手設計和創造一個,恰供四小羊同時吃奶的裝置。製作細節可看圖片說明,於此不贅。
Nursing
Although I have over twenty years of experience raising sheep and am no stranger to bottle-feeding lambs, I've only ever fed two lambs at a time. This time, I had to nurse four lambs at once, and I was completely overwhelmed, like a "crab in a ditch."
Because the ni***es hadn't even arrived, the four little ones had already surrounded me; they even nudged my legs, instinctively seeking the mother's teats. When I handed the bottle and ni**le to one of them, the others swarmed in, jostling and fighting, creating a chaotic scene.
Of course, specialized dairy farms have well-designed containers with 4-6 ni***es attached to the bottom. Just pour in the milk, and the lambs will each find their spot to suckle. Naturally, if a ni**le gets clogged or empty, the lambs will then fight over another ni**le that's being used or is empty.
Firstly, the specialty milk store is almost an hour's drive from home, and secondly, the special milk containers aren't cheap. Why not design and create your own, like other everyday items, a device that can feed four lambs simultaneously? See the pictures for details on how to make it; I won't go into them here.
