WILDLIFE BOTTLES & TEATS
wildlife bottles and teats, also known as nursing bottles and nipples, are essential tools for feeding and caring for orphaned or hand-reared wildlife. Here's a description of these items:
-
wildlife Bottles:
- Material: Sturdy and non-toxic materials like plastic or rubber are commonly used to make wildlife bottles.
- Design: The short neck of these bottles makes them easier to handle and regulate during feeding. Typically, they are available in different sizes to fit varying volumes of milk or formula.
-
Teats/Nipples:
- Material: The materials used to create wildlife teats or nipples are supple and soft, simulating the sensation of a mother wildlife nipple. This facilitates a wildlife's comfortable latch-on and nursing.
- Shape: The teats are designed to mimic a wildlife's nipple, which makes it easy for wildlife to suckle on instinct.
- Variety: To meet the various demands of wildlife at different stages of development, teats are available in a variety of sizes and forms.
-
Feeding Formula:
- Compatibility: Both the bottles and teats are designed to work with specially formulated wildlife milk replacers. These formulas aim to provide the essential nutrients needed for a growing wildlife animal. SHOP HERE!
- Temperature: It's important to ensure that the formula is at an appropriate temperature for feeding – usually warmed to approximate body temperature. You can test this by pouring the milk on the inside (sensitive) part of your forearm! You don't want to burn your wildlife animals mouth!
-
Cleaning and Sterilization:
- Ease of Cleaning: wildlife bottles and teats should be easy to disassemble and clean thoroughly between feedings.
- Sterilization: Proper sterilization of these items is crucial to prevent the risk of infections. Most are dishwasher safe or can be sterilized using boiling water.
-
Guidelines for Use:
- Age-Appropriate: Ensure that you use the appropriate-sized teat for the age and size of the wildlife animal.
- Feeding Schedule: Follow recommended feeding schedules and guidelines to ensure proper nutrition and healthy development. This can be found on your wildlifes milk products (di-vetelac & wombaroo cat milk ect)
When caring for orphaned or hand-reared wildlife , these bottles and teats become vital tools to simulate the natural nursing experience and provide the necessary nourishment for their growth and well-being.
