Before you begin, use a the tip of a pin or scissors to make an appropriately sized opening in the teats. The opening must be kept small so that the animal does not choke or take in too much air.
Fill the bottle with the appropriate liquid e.g. milk substitute, water or glucose and then attach the small teat. Gently introduce this into the animal's mouth, allowing the animal to suck the liquid.
The bottle must be cleaned after each use in warm soapy water (not exceeding 60°C) and then rinsed well in cold water to remove all traces of soap.
