What kind of nurser should I use for my newborn kitten?
 Find
the appropriate nurser when you are purchasing the milk replacer
for your kitten. Often these nursers look like a mini baby bottle.
There are different kinds of nipple to choose from as well.
You should pierce the nipple with a needle that has been heated
over flame. Another option is to ask your Veterinarian to prepare
the nurser for you.
Most importantly DO NOT cut the nipple with a knife, household
scissors, or any object other than a needle. If the hole is too
large the kitten may choke on the milk as it enters its lungs because
the flow of a nipple pierced improperly feeding you kitten too much
milk at once.
