Usage Guide:
• Choose the appropriate teat size based on the joey's stage of development
• Sterilize the teat before first use and between feedings
• Attach to a Biolac bottle or syringe filled with properly prepared marsupial milk replacer (e.g., Biolac M100, M150, or M200)
• Warm formula to appropriate temperature before feeding
• Allow the joey to latch and suckle naturally
• Clean thoroughly after each use and replace regularly to maintain hygiene
Feeding Tips:
• Always hold joeys in a natural feeding position, similar to how they would feed in the pouch
• Follow recommended feeding schedules based on the joey's age and species
• Monitor suckling to ensure proper feeding and prevent air intake
• Gradually transition to larger teat sizes as the joey grows
• Introduce solid foods at the appropriate stage, following expert advice
Suitable for:
• Orphaned wallabies
