Wombaroo Feeding Bottle 120ml

• Teat Selection:
  • - Selection of teats should be based on anatomical similarity to the maternal teat;
  • - This ensures oral comfort, a proper fit, and facilitates correct dental development.
  • - Marsupial teats increase in length with age; transitioning to longer teats is essential.
  • - Usage recommendations are available online, but carers should assess individual needs.

• Hole Configuration:
  • - Teats are supplied without pre-pierced holes;
  • - For small animals, use a hot needle to create a ~1 mm hole.
  • - For larger species, scissors may be used to cut a suitable opening.
  • - A hole that is too small may cause excessive suction, leading to tip damage.
  • - A correctly sized hole allows slow dripping when the bottle is inverted.

• Feeding Technique:
  • - For small animals, attach the teat to a syringe for controlled milk delivery. Carers are advised to consult experienced professionals for proper technique, as feeding protocols vary between species.
