Like Gene said take his temperature. Should be 101.5 but can be as high as 102.5 if on milk replacer. The replacers raises their temp. a little. Any thing 103 or above should be treated and watched closely. Even though it does not have scours now it my have a tummy ache. Put it on the electrolyte mix I gave you in other post for one or two feedings. It will not hurt it even if it is not sick and will settle its tummy and give it some much needed energy from not eating. Remember use dextrose only (white corn syrup) NOT SUCROSE (table sugar) at any time for no reason. If it is not sick sucrose will make it sick. From your second post I think it just does not like the rubber nipple because it is not mom. The hole in nipple should be large enough that when you turn bottle over milk drips out and runs out with a little pressure. If you have to squeeze firm to get it to run out enlarge the hole. Keeping a nipple with extra large hole for first feeding practice is a good idea. Good Luck John
