[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1402826, member: 25884"] At this age I would try the milk in a bucket. Some just prefer that. The trying to force her to drink from a bottle/nipple will only aggravate her. If you have tried the suggestions that TCRanch made and she still won't, try it in a bucket. Have one that was orphaned at about 3 weeks, could not get it to take a bottle. Guess it just wasn't enough like momma. But when she got a taste of the milk in the bucket she figured it out and did fine after that. Take the water away so that she has to drink the milk or go without for a day or 2. It won't hurt her to go without for 24-48 hours if it isn't 90 degrees out. [/QUOTE]
