Hi,
My little bottle baby lamb (3 weeks old today!) is starting to nibble grass, but is also eating dirt too. Or at least she appears to be eating dirt. She burrowers her nose down under the grass and appears to be munching on the dirt. She doesn't do this all the time, but maybe a couple of times a day she tries it. When she does this, it doesn't look like she gets much in her mouth. Nor does her poo look different, so I don't think she is getting much.
Is this hurtful to her!? Does this mean she is lacking some minerals?
Thanks for advice.
Sandy
