Just wondering if anyone found a certain syringe that was better for feeding? I am using 1 in less than a day before they can't suck up any longer. Just wanting to create less waste

We have tips and recommendations in chapter 4 of this guide here: All About Syringe Feeding and Medicating Guinea Pigs with Videos and Pictures
Personally, I prefer the more sturdy small metacam syringes with the narrow tip bit and sticking out plunger cut off but they are hard to come by. Your syringe will last a bit longer if you repeatedly pump it in a mug with plain water between each feed to get all the little bits out that can make stick and jam.
