[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 519829, member: 1258"] I agree not to bring them in until this guy is better but I have to disagree respectfully with Milkmaid. I'd give him friends as soon as his health makes it possible. We've always had bottle calves together from day one. We have never had the sucking problems that I have read about on here. We feed our babies often and a lot. The calves I have seen that suck on other calves are starved for food, affection or both. Obviously this isn't normal behaviour or the calves in the field would be doing it. Looking at your guy I doubt he is lacking either. A calf alone though actually will have a lowered immune system and more stress. They are herd animals and do better if they are with one or more of their own kind. Keep us updated.:) [/QUOTE]
