    Wasnt expecting a sick asian water monitor to survive. Spent $175 on him, $350 on an exotic vet and $60 on medications. He had an upper respiratory infection and wasn't eating. Syringe feeding him this brought him back to life, he was limp weak and barely opened his eyes. 3 days of Critical Care and he was on his way to being healthy and happy. Fresh, convenient, took a bit longer to come in than expected but I'm glad it made it here for him. High quality for carnivores. The same lizard in both pics, 1 when we first got him i was able to hold him between 2 fingers he was smaller and fit in my palm. Now he's almost to 4 Ft and healthy and thriving. He was only on Critcal Care for 3-7 days can't remember because it was so long ago but now he eats Quail Chicks, Chicken gizzards, hearts, livers, eggs, crickets, mice, crayfish, shrimp and much more. Well worth the investment for a healthy lizard.

    Great supplement for pets who need it. My cat eventually passed, but I believe this gave him the nutrients that helped him live longer.

    We have a special needs bearded dragon who goes through phases of not eating and looses weight. We supplement with this product and our girl loves it! She is already gaining weight and becoming more active after 3 days.

    Sid the Ferret was recently diagnosed with DIM. We're in it for the long haul due to the nature of DIM nature. He lost some weight when we starting getting sick, but we've been able to gain half of what he lost within 10days of adding this to his homemade soupies.

    When we first added this to his syringe feed soupies, he did have seedy poo which suggested extra fats/protein but within 48hrs his body adjusted. It's very easily digestible.

    Carnivore Care has the perfect blend of nutrition and calories. Carnivore Care has made a significant difference in our sick boys health. The bags keep well, but remember to store in the fridge or freezer! Fridge gets about 7 days and freezer 3+ months. If you keep in the freezer, just remember you can't unfreeze the bag again. Just make enough for 1 day at a time.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Saved My 25 Year Old Gecko!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2024
    This product has been a lifesaver for my gecko who turned 25 years old this year. She could not eat solid food anymore so the vet placed her on this product. I feel her health has improved over the 3 years she has lived on this product. Her poops are more regular, her energy level has improved and she all around seems happier. She gets more nutrition through this product then she would have with meal worms so I am very grateful for it. Highly recommend!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Rescue beardie finds it particularly tasty, boosts energy in sickly dragon.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2015
    I purchased this for a rescue bearded dragon I'm currently rehabbing -- he's my first dragon, so I'm using this on a recommendation from a reptile expert. I've only been using it for two days, so I'm not certain of any health/energy/growth benefits, but the lizard certainly enjoys eating it, and where I usually have to trick him into eating anything but the other paste I tried, he comes out of his tank at feedings already smacking his lips. It has definitely helped me to put a little weight on him...but I can't say whether it's growth or because he's actually eating something. My only concern is that the packaging says to discard after a week in the fridge, but I won't use it that fast so I've been storing it in the freezer, and letting each measurement of the powder come to room temperature before mixing. I will definitely update as my usage progresses.

    UPDATE: 1 week after purchase
    I have been feeding my beardie this food for about one week now. I prep 2 or more cc in a syringe, and I go through the whole thing throughout the day...I supplement with Flukers repta-boost as it has more water when mixed. HOWEVER, this food has definitely perked my bearded dragon up. Before he was mopey and unwell, rarely ate a lot, and didn't move around the cage. With the new food, he has not stopped running around his enclosure all morning, and when I took him out to feed him he ate much more than he normally does in the morning, and then proceeded to run about my bed, and jump from my hands, and and climb all over. I would absolutely say that this food has been great for helping this little guy get well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best thing for recovering animals
    Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2019
    I've been using this for a few years and the product is always great. I'm a hedgehog breeder and when my hedgehogs need extra care or can't eat solids this is my go to. It definitely helps with my hedgehogs that have impaired nervous systems with wobbly hedgehog syndrome, which is a lot like parkinsons. They say vitamin E helps the syptoms and slows down the progression, and while I cant speak for the progression part it seems to always help the symptoms and give them extra energy. They seem to love the flavor, although I cant imagine testing it myself since is stinks strongly of salmon when warmed up. You mix it with water and then I like to add in some kind of squash (pumpkin or butternut) baby food, the combination works wonders. They always arrive before the delivery date and are in great condition. It says to only to keep it for a week after opening, but I've had no issues of stretching it beyond that as long as its refrigerated and sealed tight. I would tread carefully with that though, lol. It does seem a bit pricey for a very small bag of powdered food, but it costs way more if you get it at the vet, which is who recommended me to this product. I uploaded a pic of our girl Snowdrop getting a feeding, she typically gets it all over her chin...we call it her "mac an cheese face". Its a very happy face ????
