The Hiko Lamb Teat is a replacement feeding teat used to hand rear lambs and kid goats from a bottle or bucket feeder. It is made in Germany by Hiko and is best for shepherds, smallholders and hobby farmers feeding orphan, triplet or weak lambs through the lambing season.

FAQ
What is the Hiko Lamb Teat used for?
It is a replacement feeding teat for hand rearing lambs and kid goats from a bottle or a bucket feeder, most often used for orphan, triplet or weak lambs.
Does the teat come with a bottle?
No. This listing is for the teat only. Bottles and bucket feeders are sold separately, so check the fitting on your existing equipment before ordering.
Can it be used for kid goats as well as lambs?
Yes, lamb teats are commonly used for kid goats being reared by hand, provided the kid takes to the teat shape.
How often should a lamb teat be replaced?
Replace it as soon as it becomes split, sticky, misshapen or noticeably enlarged at the tip. A worn teat lets milk flow too quickly, which is why many farms keep spares through lambing.
How do I clean the teat?
Wash in warm soapy water after every feed, rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry before the next use.
Where is it made?
The Hiko Lamb Teat is manufactured in Germany.
