Wombaroo Teat (TM) Out-of-Pouch Kangaroo/Wallaby

The Wombaroo Teat Out-of-Pouch Kangaroo/Wallaby is a latex teat designed to suit young marsupials. Its long, thin shape ensures proper feeding, comfort, and correct tooth development. The teat fits Wombaroo Feeding Bottles and other bottles with an 18-24mm neck. It comes without a hole, allowing carers to adjust milk flow as needed. To maintain longevity, store it in a dry, dark place in an airtight container and clean thoroughly after each use.

Key Benefits:

• Designed for joeys in the 500g 5.5 lbs weight range.
• Mimics the mother's teat, ensuring natural feeding.
• Compatible with standard feeding bottles (18-24mm neck diameter).
• Carer-controlled hole size for optimal milk flow.
• Prevents excessive sucking, reducing the risk of teat damage.
• Durable, flexible, and easy to clean for repeated use.

How To Use:

1. Pierce: Use a heated needle to create a 1mm hole in the teat.
2. Attach: Securely fit onto a compatible feeding bottle.
3. Wash: Clean with soapy water, rinse, and dry after each use.
4. Store: Keep in a dry, airtight container away from light.

• Selecting the Right Teat for Your Joey:
  • For optimal comfort and development, teats should be shaped like the mother's and match the appropriate length.
  • Marsupial joeys require longer teats as they grow, making progressive teat changes important.
  • While the link below provides guidance on suitable teat options, carers should choose what best suits their individual animal.
• Hole Customization for Teats:
  • Carers must create a hole in the teat, as they do not come pre-punctured.
  • For small animals, use a hot needle to pierce a hole about 1 mm wide; for larger animals, use scissors to make a larger opening.
  • A hole that is too small causes excessive sucking, which can damage the teat and cause the tip to split.
  • If this happens, the hole needs to be enlarged for proper milk flow.
  • The correct hole size ensures milk drips slowly when the bottle is inverted.

Feeding Guide:

• Small animals can be fed by attaching a teat to the end of a syringe, allowing the carer to regulate milk flow using the plunger.
• Proper feeding methods vary by species, so guidance from experienced carers is highly recommended.

Storage:

• To slow latex degradation, keep teats away from light and moisture in a dry, dark location.
• An airtight, opaque container is ideal for storage.
• Wash teats with warm soapy water immediately after use, dry thoroughly, and store them properly.
• Boiling or infant sterilizing solutions can be used for additional sanitation.
