[QUOTE="Alice, post: 436143, member: 3873"] Do you have anymore calves that are already eating dry feed? If you do, put one of them in with the calf. Monkey see...monkey do. Make sure any calf you put in with this one is vaccinated. Wouldn't hurt to vaccinate the one you are having problems with, either. One other thing for you to try...Put less water in the bottle of milk replacer. Give him the same amount of dry powder, but with a pint or two less water. That way he still gets the nutrition but is left a little hungry and thirsty. Maybe it'll make him go for the water and dry feed. I've had really good luck with this. Just my 2 cents. Alice [/QUOTE]
