THE MIRACLE NIPPLE Mini for Pets and Wildlife

As a breeder of cats these are essential for any neonates that need that little helping hand

I foster kittens, and bottle feeding has always been a pain for stubborn kittens. Not anymore, these make it so much easier, and the kittens latch really easily on them! But I think what got me the most is how they come with a pre-made hole, which makes my life a lot easier since cutting the hole on regular nipples is sometimes tricky (too big or too small becomes frustrating for a kitten), and the Miracle Nipples are perfectly sized! The syringe that comes with it is really great for very young ones, and the nipple is easily switchable to a bottle when they are old enough. I recommend the mini size to anybody that has kittens to feed!

These were a great value since they saved our kitten and you can’t put a price on that. The natural rubber makes these ideal to feel like the real thing. I picked these up on the recommendation of a cat rescuer for a little 3 week old rescue who was suffering from a massive eye infection and needed to be taken for treatment and recovery. We needed to feed her and this worked wonders along with Pet-AG KMR milk powder. She was able to suckle and latch on perfectly eventually emptying two syringes at a time. The only down sides are the syringe barrels losing their markings after washes which will happen with most printed graduations/numbers and the plunger becoming increasing difficult to move along the barrel. Nothing a little help from mama or papa kitty parent can’t fix by providing a little push once they latch on. The nipples themselves are soft and supple made of natural rubber mimicking nature in a way that is inviting to the newborn/orphan kittens. They fit the included syringes perfectly with no odd smells and have a base the kittens can kneed while nursing. They were used up until weaning and appear good as new with a solid build quality. KMR Kitten Milk Replacer by Pet AG was also purchased on Amazon and was a wonderful replacement for mommas milk that my kitty drank up. She’s now a healthy weight and two months later super active and happy! An aside we tried one other brand of KMR and it made our kitten sick with diarrhea. The Pet AG is what the emergency vet gave us to hold us over after treatment and she drank it up with no diarrhea or ill effects. Accept no substitutions on the KMR either. Thankful Amazon for both of these items to me quickly as we went from 2ml feedings which are no where near enough to close to 20ml feedings with the proper nipples and syringes.

I am caring for 4 bottle baby kittens who came to me at about 2 days old. I work in the veterinary field and these are the best and closest thing you can get to mom's natural nipple for kittens. Also very easy to clean and you can switch out with any larger size syringe as long as it has a Luer Lock end (as opposed to just a feeding syringe, which will not twist and 'lock' onto the nipple, as it would onto a needle.) These are pricey but make a hard job so much easier and better for the kittens, who can suckle better and ingest less air, plus this allows less risk of aspiration pneumonia because the rate is slow flow. Once my babies got the hang of it they started suckling well and are now 3 weeks old and doing great! Worth every penny, to also support a women owned business is important to me.

These work perfectly. They were a gift to a friend raising orphaned kittens, and they do exactly what she needed them to do. I can not offer specifics, as I'm not the one using them, but the kittens have doubled in weight over the last few weeks.
