The lamb now feeds herself, and Rhoda is confident that Wonky will eventually "unwonk" as her neck strengthens.

Fans have commented on Meek's videos, saying: "Wonky has improved so well… lovely to see the change in his head lifting, such a darling little character, moments to love! I totally get your emotional investment in him. Worth every minute. Well done you and Wonky!" Another said: "OK, I need to admit I'm mildly obsessed with wonky! I need her in my life." While another said: "So invested in you Wonky, you got this."
