[QUOTE="olerustyplow, post: 135993, member: 2614"] Msscamp, Actually I have her on a bucket. Should I revert back to the nipple? When I got her from my friend he had moved her to the 'bucket calves' already, and she drank a little for him, but he was worried she wasn't going to make it. Anyway, I just went up to the barn after leaving her with just milk (no pellets available) and she still didn't drink! ARG! So I helped her drink again and just as soon as she drank the whole bucket she goes to pellets and eats like crazy. I just don't get it. :( I thought that drinking in general would be an inborn thing, that is why I wonder if she can't physically drink. I dunno. I don't want to kill this calf any more than my friend did, but I just don't know what to do. I can't keep my finger in her mouth all the time. [/QUOTE]
