I have never tube fed a lamb before, but that was a topic in the boards I go to. They were talking about a baby goat, and this web article was mentioned. Maybe it will help.

If a lamb is 10 lbs. he needs 50 ml per hour, so I would give him 140 ml. Then come back and check him to see that he is nursing.
