G8 Crop Needles “AISI 304” Stainless steel needles with rounded ball tips for use in administering medications, fluids, and food to animals. Brass Luer lock fittings are suitable for the most commonly used syringes. Recommended for hand raising emergency feeding/medication of birds and reptiles. Crop needles are used to administer emergency first aid treatments including ER Formula and Quick Gel directly into the crop. They are also useful when hand-rearing birds. Crop needling is a special technique and requires individual tuition, however, once mastered is an invaluable skill for any bird fancier. Our crop needles have been custom-made so that emergency treatments may be administered safely and efficiently without the risk of needle blocking. Crop needles are available in a range of sizes for all types of birds.
