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

Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set – baby bottle with teats

The Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set is a practical set for the controlled offering of milk replacer or a thin porridge. The set consists of a compact feeding bottle, multiple teats, and a cleaning brush. With this, you have the most important tools together when a young animal, a growing animal, or an animal that temporarily needs extra support needs to be gently supplemented with supplementary feeding.

When supplementing, it is primarily about calm, hygiene, and control. A well-fitting teat helps to offer small amounts at a time, so that the drinking moment remains manageable. You adjust the opening in the teat yourself, allowing you to better tailor the drinking pace to the animal and the food you are using.

At DRD, when it comes to supplementary feeding aids, we focus primarily on practical applicability, control, and ease of use. This feeding set is handy to have on hand when working with milk replacer, a thinly prepared porridge, or recovery food and wishing to offer it gently.

Why choose a feeding set?

Supplemental feeding requires small steps. When an animal is willing and able to suck on its own, a teat can be convenient because the drinking moment feels calmer and more natural than feeding directly from an open bowl. The Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set helps you offer liquid food in a controlled manner, without too much coming out of the teat at once.

The great thing about this set is that you customize the opening in the teat yourself. This allows you to start with a very small hole and first test whether the food drips slowly. This provides more control and prevents it from going too fast. Feeding slowly is especially important for young animals or animals that are temporarily a bit weaker.

The cleaning brush is a practical part of the set. Milk replacer and porridges can easily get stuck in edges, spouts, and narrow parts. By cleaning thoroughly immediately after use, the bottle remains hygienic and ready for the next feeding.

For which animals is the Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set suitable?

• Mouse: only for very careful and appropriate use in young or vulnerable animals. Due to the small size of mice, dosing slowly is especially important.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as an aid when liquid food needs to be offered in a very controlled manner. Always use a small teat opening and small amounts.
• Hamster: can be used for temporary supplementary feeding with milk replacer or thin porridge, provided the animal can drink peacefully and the food is appropriate.
• Gerbil: suitable as an aid for the controlled administration of liquid food when necessary. Pay close attention to posture, calmness, and pace.
• Dwarf rat: can be used for young dwarf rats or those being temporarily supplemented with food. Because dwarf rats can vary in size, always consider the individual animal and its drinking rate.
• Rat: suitable as an aid for young rats or for temporary supplementary feeding. Rats are often agile and inquisitive, so hold the bottle firmly and feed calmly.
• Guinea pig: suitable as an aid for young animals or for temporary supplementary feeding. Appropriate nutrition is important for guinea pigs; use milk replacer or porridge only when appropriate for the situation.
• Rabbit: suitable as an aid for young rabbits or for temporary supplementary feeding. Work calmly, keep the animal upright, and if in doubt, follow the advice of a veterinarian or experienced shelter.
• Chinchilla: only use when liquid food is truly necessary and the animal can drink calmly. Keep the pace slow and prevent the food from coming out of the teat too quickly.
• Degu: suitable as an aid for very controlled supplementary feeding when necessary. Use only appropriate food and work with small quantities.

The set can also be used for other young or growing pets, provided the food and teat size are suitable. For very young animals, animals that are clearly sick, refuse to swallow, or are deteriorating rapidly, guidance from a veterinarian or experienced shelter is advisable.

This is how you use the baby bottle

1. First, make the pacifier fit. Pierce a small hole with a clean needle or carefully snip off a tiny tip of the pacifier.
2. Test the bottle before feeding. Hold it upside down: the liquid should drip gently, not flow.
3. Prepare the milk substitute or porridge according to the packaging and let it cool to lukewarm.
4. Keep the animal in a natural, upright posture. Do not let an animal drink lying flat on its back.
5. Let the animal suck on its own as much as possible. Do not squeeze the bottle hard.
6. Feed small amounts and take breaks so that the animal can swallow calmly.
7. Clean the bottle and teat thoroughly immediately after use.

Hygiene and cleaning

Clean the bottle, teat, and spout immediately after use. First rinse with warm water, and then use the cleaning brush to thoroughly clean edges and narrow parts. If you use washing-up liquid, rinse extra well to ensure no residue remains.

Allow all parts to dry thoroughly before storing them. Check pacifiers for cracks, discoloration, wear, or damage before each use. Replace a pacifier as soon as it no longer closes properly or when the opening has become too large.

Important to know

• Always start with a small opening in the teat. You can always make it bigger later.
• The liquid should drip gently and not flow out of the teat.
• Never feed an animal lying on its back.
• Use only food that is suitable for the animal species, age, and situation.
• For sick, weakened, or very young animals, advice from a veterinarian or an experienced shelter is advisable.
• Use the set cleanly and hygienically and clean all parts immediately after use.
