Baby manatees, known as calves, typically begin to eat vegetation around 3 to 6 months of age, although they continue to nurse from their mothers for up to two years. Initially, they may nibble on their mother's food, gradually learning to consume seagrass and other aquatic plants. Their transition to a herbivorous diet is an important part of their development as they grow and become more independent.
NO only the female manatee does NO only the female manatee does
A manatee has one baby about every three to five years. They do not breed very often.

Well... yes, pretty much. Besides in size, (and motor boat scars) adult and baby manatees are pretty much indistinguishable.
two weeks then it makes them go by it self
A baby manatee is called a sea calf lllike a cow.
You can tell after they have Whoo Hoo and you hear like a baby sound that mean she will get pregnant and if she starts throwing up after eating and shes not getting enough sleep or eating at all she is probobly pregnant. But you will know for sure when the screen zooms in on her and there is a baby bump! The baby will be there in 3 days! Hope this helped bye
They are gorgeous, gentle animals. but NIX on the bathtub idea. They grow. They grow fast, and they are HUGE.
The bull(father) goes away after mating. The cow(mother) stays with the baby for up to 2 years.
Bark, twigs , vegetation
pond weeds and other vegetation
yes, as soon as a baby around five or six weeks old (generally the time the babys eyes will open for the first time) starts eating solid foods bananas are quite acceptable
