[QUOTE="M-5, post: 1273742, member: 23550"] take away the water for a day. only offer milk in a bucket. and feed. at nearly 2 weeks old its got to be drinking water. limit its options its strong enough to make some decisions if its wants to survive. Its hard to do. Your not being cruel but you got to figure out if it drinking on its own. If that's 2 drastic for you put water in a bucket and mark the level with a sharpie. If its drinking you can tell. I had one doing same thing until I got it strong enough and took away everything. I even started kicking the mama out except for twice a day. the little basturd never sucked a bottle but figured out how to suck his mama and drink water out of the bucket. [/QUOTE]
