I keep this on hand for a diet supplement for any time one of my guinea pigs gets sick. They love the apple and banana flavor.

Great product, but I'm leaving this review specifically for the person who has their chinchilla in the plastic ball in one of the reviews. Your chin is getting sick because of that ball, from heat stroke no less. Chinchillas can easily get heat stroke and easily overheat when simply playing and running around, putting them in that ball just speeds up that process. Keep him in a room that is 69 degrees at all times for this reason, they can not be in any environment that is over 70 degrees for extended periods, but you can also buy cooling tiles for them, these do help to some extent. Throw that ball away and buy a metal play pen that he can run around in while supervised. They can't have any plastic in their cage, they eat it and it kills them, any plastic ledges can be covered with fleece liners. Oxbow pellets and timothy hay is all they need in their diet to survive, there are treats they can have like rose hips and apple twigs, but do not risk giving them anything if you aren't sure. Kiln dried pine or kiln dried aspen bedding is the only bedding they should have, any expandable bedding will be eaten and will expand in the stomach which will kill them. Sweets will cause bloat and kill them as well, even the ones that they can have like dried goji berries, so these must be given in moderation, once every 2 weeks if okay. There are also a variety of herbs, snacks and treats and toys they can have and I recommend checking out "whimsy's menagerie" for a great selection of them and other thing's. They also need dust baths twice a week and should not be washed with water. Hope this helps someone.

Perfect for our flemish giant, especially if she is not eating enough of her pellets. She is a picky eater, but she usually loves the Oxbow brand.

If you have guinea logs, please keep a fresh bag of this on hand at all times for health issies.
When they stop eating, you need to start using this immediately.
And mine love thr issues.. I can always count on oxbow for freshness and quality.

The title is what I go by, because once there is a stasis within any of my bunnies GI tract, it may be too late waiting for the delivery.

Sometimes I add a small amount to some water in addition to their regular water just for preventative maintenance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for sick Guinea pigs
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2024
I use this for when my Guinea pigs are having problems with eating and pooping. They don't like it so I have to add more water to it to make it really watery and force it to them. The only con is the pieces are super hard to get in syringe

5.0 out of 5 stars Vet told me to put my bunny down
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2022
The media could not be loaded.
My Rabbit lost the use of his back legs, he is 11 years old. So quick story my rabbit had gotten dental disease. This is were he lost a lot of weight became weak. We got that under control. He was getting back to normal. And then all of sudden one of his legs started showing weakness. So I was going on vacation, so I boarded him at the vet. I had informed the vet tech that he needs help getting to his food and water but he will drink and eat on his own if you help him. I even asked if they could use the joint drops while he was there and she said no because he was already on lots of medication. Now I understand they can’t monitor all the time. But when I came back he was a lot worse they were letting him lay on his side and not helping him up. I had watched many videos were they tell you to help correct their posture and help put them in a seated position. (How they normally do) which I had been doing and slowly it was helping with his balance. But once I got him back he had no use of his legs his back legs they would go right and his front legs would go left. While he laid. He couldn’t stand at all. And couldn’t walk. My vet told me he’s old and it would be best just to put him down. I was stunned and said I needed to think about it. And for the time being I would do nursing care. I was using critical care and tube feeding him. And when I brought him home he ate 40 mm worth in one sitting (4 syringes full). So when I saw him over the course of a week eating so much he was getting 40-50 mm per feeding 3 times a day. And he would go crazy for the food. I couldn’t justify putting him down, with him eating and drinking the way he was. So I wanted to try other options. I don’t entirely know if this is what’s just helping my rabbit but I’m trying multiple things AND LET ME TELL YOU. As of right now my rabbit is slowly starting to walk again and even was hopping and running in my living room. I started crying. So I’m hoping my story can help others. I used joint stress drops in his critical care. I would put 5 drops per feeding. He also was getting the joint treats oxbow. I also bought NHV they are little pricey but it goes a long way. I got the old timer and turmeric (for arthritis). He is also still on some medication from the vet. I added a picture of my schedule of exactly what I did.

Now this didn’t happen overnight and in fact it took over a month. The video is literally a month from when he went to the vet and was boarded. I don’t want to get my hopes up cause I do know my rabbit is old. But as of right now he has completely turned around and has even been eating and drinking his water on his own. He wasn’t able to stand beforehand and would fall over and knock his food and water bowl over. I had to tube feed him water at one point cause he was dehydrated. I will continue to use the critical care for extra nutrients. And hopefully my routine can help someone else’s little bunny. Don’t always listen to the vet (I’m not knocking them down completely) because they did get his dental disease under control and cleared out his cyst he had. But sometimes trying other options never hurt.
