[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 208666, member: 1258"] The two biggest reasons people have runty bottle calves is either they are trying to feed them garbage or they aren't feeding enough. You said your maternal instinct is telling you to feed more - is that because she is still hungry when you are done feeding her? Our bottle calves - at least at that age - have always been fed to the point that they are no longer eating - they just play with the nipple. Also she should be being fed 3-4 times a day as milkmaid mentioned already while she is young. [/QUOTE]
