    Default 11 Week Biting Silicone Nipple

    My newly 11 week squirrel rescue name’d Biscuit has recently started chewing on her silicone syringe nipple. She doesn’t eat enough Mazuri Rodent Blocks to be independently eating. She still takes nippled syringe feeds 2-3x a day. I don’t know what to do to safely feed her. She needs the nipples to take her formula easily.

    Biscuit is adorable 🥰
    I've had that happen too, I ended up not using the nipple however you have to make sure they don't chew the syringe.
    Maybe someone else will have a better idea.

    I gave up on the syringe by Week 8? I put enough formula to just cover the bottom of a small earthenware bowl. Think a few drops for her to lick up. When she figured that out I got it a tiny bit deeper, but never enough to get her nose under. In a day or two she was drinking from the bowl like a champ. Made feeding way easier. Measure the portion into the syringe, shoot some into the bowl, baby scarfs it down, repeat until baby is full.
