Feeding Tubes for Wildlife Rehabilitation

Lumenline animal feeding tubes are made for trained wildlife rehabilitators caring for many species—not for one species alone. The six-size line gives rehabbers a closely graduated range of small feeding-tube diameters for appropriate animal-care applications.

A range for different wildlife patients

Lumenline Sizes 1–6 range from 1.8 FR and 0.6 mm through 6 FR and 2.0 mm. Each size is selected by the animal’s anatomy, the intended feeding application, and species-specific guidance—not by age or weight alone.

  • Size 1: 1.8 FR / 0.6 mm / 24 Ga
  • Size 2: 2.7 FR / 0.9 mm / 20 Ga
  • Size 3: 3.8 FR / 1.26 mm / 18 Ga
  • Size 4: 4 FR / 1.33 mm / 17 Ga
  • Size 5: 5 FR / 1.67 mm / 16 Ga
  • Size 6: 6 FR / 2.0 mm / 14 Ga

Most Lumenline sizes use single-lumen construction with smooth or soft-flex rounded tips. Review each product’s specifications for the exact construction and connector details.

For wildlife rehabilitators across many species

Lumenline may be relevant to permitted wildlife rehabilitators caring for orphaned, injured, or recovering mammals and other wildlife when a feeding tube is appropriate for the individual animal. The line is intended to support informed size selection across species such as small mammals, marsupials, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, and other wildlife patients, subject to professional judgment and species-specific guidance.

Choose the right Lumenline size

Use the Wildlife Feeding Tube Size Guide to compare French size, physical diameter, gauge, and construction. Then review the individual product specifications before purchasing.
