These gorgeous little calves need your help! :)

These gorgeous little calves are in need of help!
They were bred by accident on a dairy farm and unfortunately can't stay with their mothers. They'll be moving on to permanent homes once they're weaned (as pets only!) but I'll be looking after them until then.
They're an absolute pleasure to care for and be with, but milk powder is expensive and there are other costs too like ear tags, pellets and hay as they get closer to weaning, etc.
At the moment we have 5 calves - Delta is a little chestnut jersey cross who's very sweet and a little bit shy still. Switch is a very pretty girl, with really unique grey and white markings, and a nice mature temperament. Morpheus (named by a Matrix fan!) is the ring leader and so confident and friendly. May is so petite that she looks like a little deer, but she's Morpheus' right hand calf and always tries to be like her big sister! And little Oberon, the only boy, is so quiet and patient and gentle. He's a real Mummy's boy!
If you can help these little guys it would be much appreciated!
Thanks for reading :)
I've been given the opportunity to help these guys, how could I refuse?! Animals are my absolute passion and I'm so pleased to be able to help give these little calves a second chance
May and Oberon, and a newbie..? 30 May 2016
Quick update......
May and Oberon are both great! They're both still a little bit shy but Oberon is really gentle and calm, and May is the silly energetic one!
All the others are doing really well too, and growing fast!
And we may be getting one more calf in the next few days!! I might run another naming game soon so keep an eye on the updates if you're keen to get involved :)
