[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 845412, member: 8265"] What seems obvious to us is not to the calf. We understand what the bottle and nipple is for. She sees someone shoving a rubber thing in her mouth. Doesn't make sense to her especially if she's used to what a real udder feels like. She should be able to drink, so as you mention, maybe see if she can drink some milk replacer. Also, get grain/pellets with high protein, designed for baby calves, like Calf Manna. The better quality the milk replacer (all milk ingredients) and grain/pellets, the better she'll do. [/QUOTE]
