I purchased two lambs from a private local farm, all very healthy and well taken care of.
I was scheduled to pick up the lambs Sunday, but he asked me to wait until today. When I called today, he wanted me to wait until Sunday because the mom had 'eaten too much grass' and got diahrrea from it. He said he didn't want to release them and stress her out more.
I'm not stupid, so I know its not normal for an adult to have the
runs. I asked if the babies were sick and he insisted they were fine. He called me a few minutes later to tell me the mother had died and I could get the babies anytime.
Is it safe for me to pickup the lambs? I don't want to introduce it to my other lambs and animals if they're sick.
