[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 644081, member: 5478"] Some calves have to get real hungry before they will take a bottle, seen it many times. Just keep at it, you can mix some milk with your milk replacer, make it a little more palatable. Also, make yourself a "drink or drown" nipple. Open up the crossed slits on the end so it almost pours out when you tip it up. You might get half of it on the ground, but keep your hand under his throat and you will feel him swallow once in a while. He will get the hang of it eventually. [/QUOTE]
