Lixit Nursing Bottle Kit for Hand Feeding Small Pets, 2 Ounce, 1 Pack, 3 nipples

This pet nursing bottle kit holds 2 ounces, and the clear plastic bottle carries measuring marks up its side so you can watch the level as it fills. Three rubber nipples and a brush for cleaning the bottle come in the same pack. No hole is punched in the nipples at the factory, which leaves the flow width for you to cut.

What the kit contains

• One bottle in clear plastic, with measuring marks along its side
• Three rubber nipples, supplied with no punched hole
• One brush sized for cleaning the bottle

Those parts together cover bottle feeding for baby pets, and a spare nipple sits ready while another is in use or drying.

How to use the bottle and nipples

Hole size decides the flow, and the tips arrive closed, so you pierce each one to the width you want. Fill to a line and read the amount straight off the side.

Bottle, nipples and cleaning

Clear plastic means the liquid level stays visible from the outside. The bottle's listed special feature is dishwasher safety. Rubber gives each of the three nipples a soft, pliable feel that mimics the milking action of a mother pet, and the kit adds a brush for scrubbing the bottle.

What customers say

Customers find the nursing bottle to be of good quality and appreciate that it's cheaper than store-bought alternatives. However, the functionality and ease of use receive mixed feedback - while some say it works great, others report issues with milk not coming out. Moreover, the nipple size and design are problematic, with customers noting the nipple is too large for kittens' mouths and the holes need to be manually cut. Customers disagree on whether it's suitable for kittens.
