[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1211244, member: 9096"] I don't know of a limit as long as you're careful,.. especially being careful of not tubing him into the lungs and drowning it. I have never had them get that dumb.. I did have a little heifer this year that was really hard to get going.. I was just really persistent with a bottle fitted with a nipple that had a big enough hole not much sucking was required... I had 1 or 2 fingers in the side of it's mouth, fiddling with her tongue while the other hand worked the bottle.. it was messy for sure, but after a while she got the idea. It helps to have good fresh milk/colostrum that really tastes good.. some replacers aren't very appetizing Good luck and welcome :) [/QUOTE]
