[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 194617, member: 539"] The bottle nipple is so much different from mom's that, a lot of times, it's difficult to transition them to a bottle unless they are downright starving. I just keep working with them until the light finally clicks, sometimes Karo syrup or molasses on the nipple will help. It has also been my experience that, with a lot of calves, they will eat something like COB much better than they will eat something like Startena - more molasses on the COB hence better taste. If she absolutely will not take the bottle, mix the milk replacer with her feed - it will stick to the molasses and she will still get the nutrition from it. Just my thoughts. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
