Teat Moulds
Making your own Mammal Teats
Purchasing latex rubber teats to feed orphaned wildlife can be expensive as teats often have a very short life span. With these inexpensive wooden teat moulds you can make your own mammal teats for a fraction of the price.
All moulds have a diameter of 17mm. The photograph of the moulds also shows a centimeter scale of teat lengths to assist you to choose your preferred sizes. We will make any size and shape of mould you may require. If you cant see what you are looking for, Email Us .
We have a number of latex suppliers listed in the Teat Making Instructions covering each state. If you find a good supplier in your area please let us know so we are able to add their details to the list to assist other carers.
If you think it is hard making your own teats just read the instructions.
We have the following teat moulds available for purchase

If you would like to order moulds, please send a cheque or money order, or email for direct deposit details to
Leo Jones,

Fordsdale via Gatton,

The more moulds you have of your favourite size the easier it is to make the teats.
Here is a picture of my moulds on the stand after 2 latex dips. As I am able to preserve the teats for an indefinite period in the freezer I generally make what I require for the whole year in one batch.
