Teats for Native Animals

Native Animal Teats

Gentle feeding tools for wildlife

When hand-rearing orphaned or injured native animals, using the right teat is just as important as the formula. Our teats are specially shaped and sized to suit different species and feeding stages.

Designed for safe feeding

The teats are soft, flexible, and made to mimic the feeding experience young animals would get from their mothers. They help control flow rate and reduce the risk of aspiration during feeding.

Range of shapes and sizes

From stubby to long, wide to narrow, each style is designed for a specific mouth shape and feeding habit. Options are available for marsupials, flying foxes, gliders, and other native wildlife.

Compatible with common feeding bottles

These teats fit most wildlife nursing bottles or syringes and are easy to clean and reuse. Many are recommended by wildlife vets and used in rescue centres across Australia.

Support for growing animals

As native animals develop, their feeding needs change. Having the right teat ensures a smoother transition through different life stages and encourages strong suckling behaviour.
