Biolac Wombat Feeding Teats
Biolac Wombat Teats are specially designed for hand-rearing orphaned wombat joeys, providing a safe and natural feeding experience that accommodates the unique anatomy and feeding requirements of these distinctive marsupials. Available in short and long versions to match different stages of joey development.
Specialized for Wombat Anatomy
The teat swells in the joey's mouth to keep it securely attached, mimicking the natural attachment that prevents joeys from falling out of the mother's backwards-opening pouch. Baby wombats have very small and tender mouths that can be damaged by inappropriately sized teats, making these specialized teats essential for safe feeding.
Stage-Appropriate Feeding
The short and long teat options accommodate different developmental stages, from early pouch-bound joeys to those preparing to emerge. Wombat joeys remain in the pouch nursing for 4 to 10 months, usually averaging about 8 months, requiring appropriate teat sizes throughout this extended development period.
Essential for Wildlife Care
Compatible with Biolac bottles and syringes for secure feeding, these teats work with specialized wombat milk formulas. Most country vets now carry marsupial teats for emergency wombat care, highlighting their importance in wildlife rehabilitation.
