[QUOTE="Air gator, post: 1335826, member: 20755"] I would not bother trying feed at all until closer to 6 or 8 weeks. The milk replacer has everything she needs. It reminds me of a veterinarian I heard on the radio. His professor in Vet School had a saying "Don't just do something. Stand there." Give her the milk and wherever you are when the time comes she will start eating grass. At this stage you want to focus on keeping her hydrated (but don't give her extra milk). Be prepared with electrolytes in case you go out one morning and she doesn't take the milk. Good luck. You are doing a great job getting her to take the milk out of the bucket. [/QUOTE]
