Wombaroo Teat - F

Wombaroo Teat F

The Wombaroo Teat F is a natural latex feeding teat with a rounded, bulbous nipple, specially designed for hand-feeding Flying Foxes (fruit bats). It is also suitable for some breeds of dog.

The sleeve fits a Wombaroo Feeding Bottle or any bottle with a neck diameter of 18–24mm.

Teat Selection & Hole Size

Choosing the correct teat is important. It should resemble the mother's teat in size and shape to ensure 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 tip and cause it to blow out. If this happens, enlarge the hole.

Feeding Technique

Different animals require different feeding techniques. Always seek guidance from experienced animal carers to ensure the correct method is used.

Care & Storage

Latex is a natural material that 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.
