Woody,
Your ex wife's idea just helped me. I pulled a fawn last night around 8 pm, let her sit until 7 am and tried to feed her at 7 am, 10am, 2 pm, and 5 pm and she wouldn’t eat. Just now (8:30 pm) I had someone with a bottle ready as I tapped on her upper pallet... she ate all 3 oz. Thanks for posting the information, I was afraid I'd have to tube milk into her. I just wanted to let you know i appreciated it and let you know your comments are helping others. Thanks again.

How cool is that......!!
Cameron, that's great!! I'm really glad it worked for you!!! I feel humbled and happy that I ...me.. a super green newbie, had something worthwhile to contribute. With all the help I got from here, I'm elated I could return the favor. I'll have to mention it to my ex. (or not, she might say I owe her MORE money for the tip!!!
LOL) So far so good with mine. I still have to force the nipple on her but once it's in, she drinks it all. Also, once she's done she want to run right away. Not like the first on who mauls me. Hopefully she'll come around. OK, off to work.

Woody, great to hear/see your experience has brought so many people a new trick up their sleeves to get a fawn to take. You (and the ex) have helped out many.
