PetAg Small Pet Nursing Kit

PetAg Small Pet Nursing Kit

PetAg Small Animal Nursing Kit contains all the equipment you need to feed newborn animals—including a bottle, several nipples of varying shapes, and a cleaning brush. Perfect for nursing small animals, the bottle features easy-to-see measuring marks on the side so you can see exactly how much you’re giving. The interchangeable nipples are made of flexible, durable latex and silicone that feels like mom’s teat and mimic the natural pumping action needed for babies to feed comfortably. Plus, there are no pre-punched holes in the nipples, allowing for a customized flow for your critter. And to keep things clean, you can sterilize the bottle and nipples in boiling water and comes with a handy cleaning brush.

Using a strong needle or cuticle scissors, enter and exit the tip of the nipple as though you were making a very small stitch or snip, pull the needle out removing a small piece of the nipple. Check flow with water. A steady drip or thin stream should be achieved when a slight pressure is applied to the nipple.
