I have raised 28 bottle babies this year all starting in the house for the first couple months I still have 6 to go!. There is no gag and if you find one let me know! Every once in a while I get one who just wants attention and will cry till she's horse or looses her voice almost completely. If you feed some grain it seems to make them more thirsty as does mineral if it is out. I guess the salt and the corn/oats mix does this. Hope this works for you it has for us. Nancy
