Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set – Baby Bottle with Teats & Cleaning Brush

Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set – bottle + teats

Sometimes you need a little extra help to gently supplement a young animal or one that's temporarily eating less. This Beaphar Lactol feeding set includes a compact feeding bottle, several teats, and a cleaning brush. This allows you to offer milk replacer or a thin porridge in a controlled manner, with a custom-made opening.

Why a feeding set often works better than a quick supplemental feeding

Supplemental feeding is all about control: small amounts, a slow pace, and minimal spills. A syringe or pipette can be convenient, but a teat can be more comfortable when an animal really wants (and is able) to suck. This set allows you to adjust the opening for each animal and its age. This prevents an animal from swallowing too quickly and allows for a more relaxed feeding experience.

The cleaning brush helps clean the bottle thoroughly. This is important because milk replacer and porridge can easily accumulate in the edges and spouts. Hygiene and proper opening are often the difference between "it's going well" and "it's going too fast."

Which animals is this suitable for?

This kit is often used with small mammals such as rodents and rabbits, but can also be used with other growing pets. For DRD clients, it's especially useful as an aid in offering milk replacer or a thin porridge.

Use by animal species

• Guinea pig : Supplemental feeding requires extra care. Use only appropriate food and, if in doubt, follow the advice of a veterinarian or animal shelter.
• Rabbit : Supplemental feeding may be necessary, especially for young rabbits or those recovering. Work slowly, feed small amounts, and follow a reliable feeding schedule.
• Chinchilla : Only when absolutely necessary. Keep the pace slow and make sure the animal doesn't "snap" at the pacifier.

Instructions for use

1. Pierce the tip of the teat with a needle or cut off a very small point.
2. Test first: hold the bottle upside down. It should drip, not flow.
3. Prepare the milk substitute according to the packaging and let it cool until lukewarm.
4. Allow the animal to suckle on its own. Do not squeeze the bottle (unless you can administer the dose in a very controlled manner).
5. Clean the bottle and teat immediately after use. If you use dish soap, rinse thoroughly.

Important to know

• An opening that's too large can cause choking. Always start as small as possible and only increase the size if necessary.
• In case of sick animals, dehydration or very young young, advice from a veterinarian or experienced shelter is advisable.
• Check pacifiers for wear or cracks and replace them in time.
• Never allow an animal to drink lying flat on its back; this increases the risk of something going wrong.
