[QUOTE="snake67, post: 981561, member: 17764"] I know people who have used them and think they are great. I also know people who do not agree with what I am about to write. I personally do not like the nose rings - in fact I think they are a "bill of goods" that MOST people mismanage. Take that ring off and up to a couple of years later that little spoiled animal might/will start to suck an adult - especially mommy! Separate them - for a long time - months is best. I never put them back together until the mother has a new calf at side and that calf is the same - a mommy with one of its own - that keeps me from having issues. You might get lucky and you might not. However - I would be willing to bet a coffee that you will have trouble in the future if you do not do as I do. If not this animal, then the next one. It is simply Russian roulette doing it your way. So - if it were my place I would start carrying water until I could run a heated hose or a permanent water line - or sell it and use the cash to replace it with a complete stranger. In the end it is up to you. Sell it IMMEDIATELY if it becomes a problem. Unless you have the time to babysit them - sooner or later that little booger will be sucking again. Have fun and best to you.
