[QUOTE="novatech, post: 517225, member: 5494"] Sounds like you are doing it right, some calves are just stuborn. Patience is the key word. Try putting a spoon full of sugar in its mouth then the bottle right after. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Try putting the nipple in with your finger just below and play with the tongue. I have enlarged the hole on some. If it is getting 2 quarts and a little feed it may be all it needs. You may just try feed with some milk in it. Or maybe it will drink the milk strait from a bucket. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
