[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1100559, member: 17986"] If you can put the calf in a small confined area with feed it will help it to begin eating. When we had bottle calves that is what we did. Place some calf manna in a small container. The calf will get bored and find it, then begin to nibble. Same goes for drinking water. Just keep the container clean and the water fresh. We did not increase the bottle feedings. As the calves grew so did their need for more nutrients. We wanted their desire for more to be supplied by eating. It is nice if they have another calf around and can learn to eat by watching it. [/QUOTE]
