Where to buy nipples??

[Kelbug]

I have not raised baby squirrels in over 5 years. I recently acquired 2 baby fox squirrels that are about 6 weeks now. When I first got them, I had one old nipple in my stash that I had been using. It is on its last leg and they absolutely REFUSE any others that I have purchased. I have got to get more before it's too late. The old one is yellow, rubbery, and soft. All of the new ones are stiff and silicone. I have bought 3 of the Petag kits that come with the bottle for the one long nipple, because it was yellow- nope, not it. I purchased 2 other brands from Amazon, they are all hard. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase more of the SOFT nipples?? Thanks!

These: https://henryspets.com/silicone-mothering-nipples-for-nursing-baby-animals/ are soft. They don't have anything to push against like the miracle nipple but you can hold your hand there for them. Once they get older you want to hold the nipple ON the syringe because if a baby gets to sucking they will pull it right off and I worry about choking.

Have you tried these: https://henryspets.com/easy-grip-nipple-feeding-kit/ and sold alone: https://henryspets.com/easy-grip-nipple-for-nursing-baby-animals/

Thanks for your reply, but I have some like those, they are too rigid and they will not accept them. I am looking for the yellow-colored nipples that are rubbery, not silicone.

This is what I grabbed at a pet store in a pinch, they are soft and rubbery - maybe what you're looking for?

Amazon has some great packs of them! Usually on the more cheaper end and can come with syringes as well.

These are the ones I bought I just don’t use the longer nipples for baby squirrels or other smaller animals. Just because I worry

I use ones similar to this. I ordered miracle nipples that are supposed to come tomorrow. Check all of your nipples because I got 2 packs and one was great. The other had tiny imperfections in the nipples, including a random second hole near the top and very thin spots.
