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

The Wombaroo Teat Out-of-Pouch Kangaroo/Wallaby provides a natural feeding experience for young marsupials. Its long, thin latex design supports mouth comfort, correct fit, and proper tooth development. As joeys grow, transitioning to longer teats is essential. The sleeve fits the Wombaroo Feeding Bottle or any bottle with an 18-24mm neck diameter. Carers can create a custom-sized hole to regulate milk flow. For durability, teats should be stored in an opaque, airtight container away from light and cleaned with warm soapy water after each use.

Key Benefits:

  • Perfect for out-of-pouch kangaroos and wallabies (500g 2.5kg).
  • Soft, natural latex provides a comfortable and natural feel.
  • Customizable hole size to regulate milk flow.
  • Fits 18-24mm bottle necks, including Wombaroo bottles.
  • Supports healthy jaw and tooth development.
  • Easy to clean, sterilize, and store for long-term use.

How To Use:

  • Step 1: Heat a needle and carefully pierce a 1mm hole at the tip of the teat. Ensure the hole is clean and precise.
  • Step 2: Firmly attach the teat to a compatible feeding bottle, ensuring a secure fit to prevent leaks.
  • Step 3: After feeding, wash the teat thoroughly with warm soapy water, rinse well, and let it dry completely.
  • Step 4: Store the teat in an opaque, airtight container in a dry place, away from direct light.

    • Perfect for feeding out-of-pouch wallabies

  • Teat Selection Guide:

    • The teat's shape and length should resemble the mother's for a natural fit, ensuring comfort and proper tooth eruption.

    • Since marsupial teats lengthen as the joey matures, gradual progression to longer teats is necessary.

    • A suggested guide to teat sizes and shapes is available via the link below, though individual carers should assess their animal's needs.

  • Creating the Right Hole Size:

    • Teats do not have pre-made holes, so carers should create an appropriately sized opening for their animal's needs.

    • A hot needle can be used to make a hole around 1 mm in diameter; larger animals may require a hole cut with scissors.

    • An overly small hole may lead to excessive sucking, weakening the teat and causing it to tear.

    • If the tip of the teat is blowing out, the hole is too small enlarge it for easier feeding.

    • The ideal hole size allows milk to drip out slowly when the bottle is turned upside down.

Feeding Guide:

  • For better milk flow control, small animals can be fed using a syringe with a teat securely placed over the tip.
  • Consulting experienced carers is essential to learn the correct feeding techniques for various animals.

Maintenance:

  • Latex teats should be kept in a dry, dark environment to prevent premature deterioration.
  • Store them in an airtight, opaque container to maintain quality.
  • After feeding, clean teats with warm soapy water, dry them completely, and store them as recommended.
  • Some carers choose to sterilize teats by boiling or using infant-safe sterilizing solutions.
