[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1468606, member: 25884"] Just leave the water in a small bucket for her to nose at it when she wants. If it freezes then just take it out at night and give her just a small amount to get used to. The pellets or calf feed is something she might be a little slow at getting started with since she has had some setbacks. They will try mouthing it at anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks. Don't worry, as she gets more stable and all, she will start looking for other stuff to try. My bottle babies will constantly try chewing the baling strings on the hay bales. I use them to tie some of the gates etc., so they are always chewing on them. I have gone back to some short chains for the time being. If she has some hay in there then she will be trying stuff. Let her just do it at her own pace. She has come a long way. [/QUOTE]
