The Peculiar Purple Possum

Size 1

Specifications

For the tiniest lives in your care

Size 1 is where our story began: an exceptionally small feeding tube created for vulnerable wildlife babies and the people determined to give them a chance. At just 0.6 mm in diameter, it is the smallest tube in our Lumenline collection, with single-lumen construction and a smooth, rounded tip.

Size 1’s narrow diameter requires especially thorough formula straining to remove clumps and particles before use.

Medical manufacturing standards. A wildlife-focused purpose.

Lumenline is made exclusively for and sold by The Peculiar Purple Possum. Our tubes are produced by a manufacturer of human medical products, using the same manufacturing standards and rigorous quality oversight applied to its products made for medical settings.

Use and care

For trained wildlife rehabilitators and veterinary professionals, or use under qualified, experienced guidance. Choose the diameter according to the animal’s anatomy and species-specific guidance, not age or weight alone. Wash before use and clean promptly afterward. Do not force formula through a tube that resists flushing; discard tubes that are damaged or obstructed.

For wildlife use only. Not for human use. Keep out of reach of children.

Size 2

Specifications

The familiar tiny tube, thoughtfully refined

Size 2 carries forward the tube our community has come to know and love. Its smooth, rounded tip and 0.9 mm diameter offer a small option between Sizes 1 and 3, with single-lumen construction throughout.

A clear upper section lets you observe formula movement and inspect for residue during flushing. The Luer-Lock connector attaches securely to a compatible syringe. At 2.7FR, this size remains very close to our previous 2.8FR tube, with only a small dimensional adjustment.

Lumenline grew from a simple goal: put carefully made, durable feeding tubes within reach of the rehabbers who so often pay for supplies themselves. Size 2 continues that purpose.

Size 3

Specifications

A soft flex tip for delicate care

Size 3 combines our updated soft flex tip with the small dimensions that make Lumenline special. Smooth and rounded, the tip adds flexibility at the end of the tube, while the clear upper section helps you see formula movement and inspect for residue during cleaning.

The current Size 3 measures 3.8FR and 1.26 mm, providing an option between Sizes 2 and 4. Its single-lumen construction is part of our commitment to a consistent tube line across the full size range.

This design reflects years of pursuing new materials, designs, and construction methods, with gentleness, durability, and affordability at the heart of the work.

Size 4

Specifications

Thoughtful design as your size needs change

Size 4 brings our single-lumen construction and smooth, rounded soft flex tip to a 4FR tube. Measuring 1.33 mm in diameter, it offers a small step up from Size 3 while retaining the flexible tip design.

Expanding Lumenline has always meant more than adding sizes. It means carrying the same attention to quality and gentle design through the collection, so trained caregivers have more options when selecting the appropriate diameter.

Made exclusively for our community, Size 4 is part of a line shaped by years of development and the everyday realities of wildlife rehabilitation.

Size 5

Specifications

A larger size with the same care behind it

Size 5 pairs a 5FR, 1.67 mm diameter with single-lumen construction and our smooth, rounded soft flex tip. It sits between Sizes 4 and 6, offering another option for animals whose anatomy calls for this diameter.

The soft flex tip brings added flexibility to the tube’s rounded end. It reflects the same focus that started this project: thoughtfully made tubes designed with both vulnerable animals and their caregivers in mind.

Lumenline’s expanded range carries our commitment to quality, gentleness, durability, and a fair price into every size.

Size 6

Specifications

Our largest Lumenline size, made with purpose

Size 6 extends our exclusive single-lumen collection to 6FR and 2 mm in diameter. Finished with a smooth, rounded tip and identified by its pale green color, it is the largest option in this six-size line. The size 6 has a vacuum break just above the soft flex tip to prevent vacuum and improve flow, especially when used for enema treatment of larger wildlife such as Armadillos.

From the smallest tube to the largest, the purpose remains the same: make carefully developed feeding tubes accessible to the people who dedicate their time and resources to caring for vulnerable wildlife.

Size 6 completes a range built through years of development and a close manufacturing relationship, with quality, durability, and affordability guiding the work.
