How much replacer per bottle and how many times a day? Digesting it well I assume?

If you feel like they are too skinny. Easiest way at this point is to add a few ounces of replacer to your feeding. You didn't say how much replacer you were giving but they shouldn't look super skinny if they are getting enough nutrients. If you haven't start introducing calf starter and keep fresh water with them at all times. They might not go right after the starter. Sprinkle some replacer on it to get them interested. I also put some in their mouths to help with rumen development. Hope this helps. All the best - DJ

Sorry you’re enraged. Lots of knowledgeable folks here in the comments. Maybe ask questions instead of just assuming the worst. Hope you have a great week Jessica. All the best - DJ
