Volac lamb2ewe feeder

Anyone have one of these? Bought one this year but won’t be using it for a few weeks. One thing that concerns me is that the milk in the tubes going to the teats will be cold, therefor discouraging the lamb for sucking?

I doubt it makes any difference if the lamb is hungry. I know another poster never uses warm milk as it prevents bloat.

BTW I bought a shepherdess feed line kit this year. About 35 euro and I'll just screw the teat to the wall and put the end of the pipe into a milk bucket. Cheap and cheerful.
