Wombaroo Teat - C

Wombaroo Teat C

The Wombaroo Teat C is a natural latex feeding teat with a small nipple, suitable for hand-feeding cats, rabbits and carnivorous marsupials.

The sleeve fits a Wombaroo Feeding Bottle or any bottle with a neck diameter of 18–24mm. It can also be fitted over the end of a syringe when feeding smaller animals, allowing greater control of milk flow.

Teat Selection & Hole Size

Choosing the correct teat is important. The teat should resemble the mother's in size and shape for mouth comfort, a proper fit and correct tooth eruption.

Wombaroo teats are supplied without a hole, allowing the carer to adjust the opening to suit the animal being fed.

• Pierce the tip with a hot needle to create a hole approximately 1mm in diameter.

• For larger animals, a hole can be cut using scissors.

• The opening should allow milk to drip slowly when the bottle is inverted.

• If the hole is too small, excessive sucking can weaken the teat tip and cause it to blow out. If this happens, the hole may need enlarging.

Feeding Technique

For smaller animals, the teat can be pulled over the end of a syringe, allowing milk flow to be controlled using the plunger.

Seek guidance from experienced animal carers on the correct feeding technique for each species.

Care & Storage

Latex is a natural material and can deteriorate over time. To help extend the life of your teat:

• Wash immediately after use in warm, soapy water.

• Dry thoroughly before storing.

• Store in a dry place away from light, preferably in an opaque, airtight container.

• Some carers also sterilise teats by boiling or using infant sterilising solutions.

Always check the teat opening and milk flow before feeding. An opening that's too small can cause excessive sucking and damage the teat. If you're new to hand-feeding young animals, seek advice from an experienced carer before starting.
