[QUOTE="abitdaft, post: 3618738, member: 43280"] I would probably put a calf jacket on him so that he isn't using energy on keeping warm also warming the tube in hot water to make it more flexible may help as well as offering fingers to suck instead of scunnering with a force fed bottle if you see what I mean. I have had calves in the past that initially hate the teat on a bottle but would suck fingers and finally came round to the bottle after a couple of days when appetite improves. Vitasel probably wouldn't hurt either. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
