		Not sure, we only use reverse and work back legs only. You need to start them slow until they get used to it. Ours end up anywhere between 2.0 - 3.0 mph for as much as 3-5 minutes. We start them at about 0.5 - 1 mph and sometimes have to use hands to move legs for them at first. I do know we read a LOT of info before we started treadmilling. There is a fine line where enough is enough and too much just ruined the lamb. Use the search feature and study up.

		Thanks for the advise... when you say back legs only, does that mean that gives the best results... Ill read up on it, but I would like your opinion. one of the three lambs we have only runs backwards on all fours...

		Look up treadmills on search and pay close attention to sheep1. Lots of good advice.

In the Message box you can use special indicators for formatting, if you wish. Here is how to <em>emphasize</em> your text. Or, you can <u>underline</u> areas of your messages. Or, use <b>bold</b> to really make a point.
