Miracle nipple sizing

[Melodyswnmr]

I have a question about the sizing of the miracle nipple. I am using the medium nipple for a baby grey weighing 50g. He's doing well and gaining weight, but I'm wondering if I should order a large nipple for future feedings.

There are only two sizes of the Miracle nipple suitable for squirrels. The mini-miracle for very small babies: flying squirrels, mice/rats, small neonates. The next size is for larger babies: grey squirrels, fox squirrels. The third size is (to me) huge, and shaped for large babies: raccoons, etc-this would be way to big for a squirrel, size of a human baby nipple. The one you are using is the best for your little one and can be used until he weans.It is the size most of use use for our baby squirrels.

Thank you so much for the reply! I've only seen pictures of the larger nipple and wasn't sure of the actual size. I will continue with the medium.
