Latex Teats
Latex nipples have a soft “teat-like” feel that newborn animals readily accept. Latex resists tearing and piercing, but is less durable than rubber over time.
Choose from natural or red color. For use with Premier’s Bucket Teat Units.
Instructions/Diagrams:
Bucket Teat Assembly Instructions 
Benefits
Our goat kids prefer the long style latex nipples over the short.
Specs
- Dimensions: 2" x 1-3/8"
- Choose from natural or red color
- Easy to clean
Common Questions
- What’s the difference between these latex teats and Flat Back Latex Teats?
- Both nipples offer a soft “teat-like” feel. Advances in latex manufacturing allow for a “flat-back” design, which attach flush onto Bucket Teat Units. Some producers prefer the original design, so we offer both.
Tips
If the milk flow seems too slow, take a Pocket Scalpel (or other sharp knife) and enlarge the “X” slit in the end of the teat. Be careful! Do NOT cut the end too large or the milk will constantly leak out.
Precautions
Cannot be used on soda pop bottles.
Do NOT leave empty bottles or bucket feeders in the orphan pen. Lambs and kids will chew on nipples (in an attempt to feed) and damage the teats. A habit that is not easily reversed.

I love the Red Latex Teats. They are accepted by the babies and they hold up under much abuse. Baby goats are rough and these teats pass the test.
Fred C from Tennessee
I have been using these for some time and they are great. They outlast rubber.

Fantastic! My lambs prefer them over the rubber nipples and the latex has long outlasted the rubber ones.

I am the props master for a new Broadway show. We needed nipples for a 1920's period baby bottle. These teats are perfect. Could not be happier with the product and customer service.
