This is what I use for my kids; you could also possibly use a plastic coke or water bottle: http://hoeggerfarmyard.com/xcart/Lamb-and-Kid-Feeding-Bottle.html

I really like the clear lamb nipples from Tractor supply; great for kids which are picky about the plasticy/ rubbery Pritchard nipples or that are started later in life on the bottle. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/producers-pridereg;-pritchard-nipples-pack-of-2

Hoegger also has a soft lamb nipple that I like. http://hoeggerfarmyard.com/xcart/Control-flow-Pop-Bottle-Nipple.html

Hope that helps!

We use pop bottles and two types of nipples: for boer babies we use gray lambar nipples and for our little Nigerians we use pritchard nipples.

I'm using human bottles from Walmart. :lol: Human nipples too, but the pop bottle nipples from Hoggers fit on them too. I am using both human and the pop bottle nipples.

Use human bottles for sure. My weaker kids usually have a hard time latching to the actual lamb and kid tops.
