I am very happy with these gavage needles. They are sturdy and well-made, and I especially like the ball tip, as opposed to the teardrop style. I use these for cockatiels, and my teardrop-tipped needles are slightly larger and sometimes more difficult to use with a smaller bird.
I’ve been searching for ball tip needles for years and I’m so happy to know where I can go should I need to purchase more.
Our lab cuts the tip of the plastic oral gavage needles and uses them to flush out the poop from the intestines of mice. We then obtain the intestinal tissue and isolate single epithelial cells for FACS sorting. These needles work great for our needs.
The needles are in very good quality
These look excellent, really happy with them. We use these to crop feed, hydrate and medicate kererū (New Zealand wood pigeon) and kākā (New Zealand parrot). It has been challenging to find really good quality crop needles so I will be recommending these to other Wildlife Rehabilitators
