Pepsi product bottles work best with the Pritchard nipple.
I sure wish I had known that a few weeks ago. I just kept trying different bottles in the recycle bin unitl one didn't leak, I never knew to look for Pepsi. I sure had a mess with leaky bottles before getting lucky.

Thanks for the tip, who knew they would be different?

Ksalvango- thanks for the karo suggestion! Worked wonders.

When I tried the prichard nipple he ate without me forcing it down his throat but only a few oz. With the syrup he downed 9oz! Gonna try for 12 in the morning

He was not bottle fed before I got him. He was with his mom and sister during the day and he and his sister were isolated from their mom at night. Can he be left to eat hay and grains already or do I need to work with him more to get him on the bottle?
Irresponsible of the breeder indeed!
