Flexible Plastic Tubing Oral Gavage Needles (Box of 20)

I would like to know what's the recommended plastic feeding tube for oral gavage into the gut in mice of 200-400 days old. I would like to know if the tube can reach the intestine, and what size would you recommend for this purpose?. I greatly appreciate your help!

Kindly refer to this chart that recommends size of animal feeding needles based on weight of the mouse/rat

Can this be used to hand feed baby bird

Hi Tessa.

We typically recommend steel tubing, bird may possibly bite plastic tubing and break.

Thank you,

Hello, can you please provide me a SUK number of Flexible Plastic tubing Oral Gavage Needles (Box of 20), 20G x 38mm Yellow without Bite guard?

Yes its PDAFN2038WBG

Is the amount of garbage needles per box a total of 20 gavage needles ( 4 packages of 5 needles) or is it 20 packs of 5 for a total of 100 needles?

its a box of 20 gavage needles total. (So 4 packs of 5 needles)

Just for clarification, does a "box of 20" mean there are 100 needles per box, or are there just 4 of the 5-needle packages?

its total 20 needles which is 4 packs of 5 needles

Before ordering this product, would you please confirm this is the same product as P/N FN20-38? We used P/N FN20-38 for a long time. Thank you very much.

Yes thats correct our part number for this one is PDAFN2038WNBG (Without bite guard) or PDAFN2038WBG (With Bite Guard)

Can you please recommend a oral gavaging system that would be suitable for juvenile mice? For the intratracheal instillations in the lab I use 24G needle for juveniles so I was wondering if you have a smaller version for the gagaving purpose for the juvenile mice as well. Thank you!

You may want to refer our blog for some articles on sizes based on mice weight. We do have 26G malleable needle which is thinner in dialmeter then 24G
