CROP needle

Postby adnan » Wed Aug 06, 2014 5:37 pm

Hi everyone,

I am little confused, I need to know What type of GAUGE system is used for crop needles? i.e; AWG or SWG?

best regards.

I have no idea. But why does it matter? Crop needles should only be used in case the bird has no feeding response and that means the bird should be at a vet clinic and not in a home so why would you need to know which measuring system is used? Avian vets know which size is good for which species.
