Bottle feed pups

Can anyone tell me what are the best teats to use. My pups don't like the ones I have, they are very hard and not very pliable they are marketed by beaphar.

I'm not sure what is available there but I've used this one before http://www.calvetsupply.com/product/...inary_Supplies

I found that it took a while for my kitten to take to the bottle, so I would have to open his mouth and feed drop by drop. Eventually he understood what the bottle was and began to suckle on his own. Just keep trying, it takes a bit of time and patience.

I know with some Shih Tzu pups I raised on a bottle, I used the Preemie baby nipples. They were soft and you had to make the holes a little bigger but the pups did good on them.

Are these the puppies born 14th June ? They should be being weaned on to solids now & don't need to be bottle fed.
