OxbowCritical Care Herbivore, Fine Grind, Emergency Rabbit & Guinea Pig Food, Natural Papaya Flavor, Veterinary Formula, Critical Care Herbivore, Assist Feeding Formula for Pets, 100 gram bag

I got this for emergency base for guinea pigs. Comes really fresh, there is no hardness to it, the first couple of stages is not chewable but as you make it thicker guinea pigs will chew it up. Works very well when your in a critical moment with a baby. Always have on hand if your breeding guinea pigs or own them. Good for babies in need or much older piggies who are having a hard time eating due to age. I also use this for wildlife.

Bunny LOVES this and it likely saved her life! After somebunny ate carpet when we were not looking she had a tummy recovery to go through. The vet recommended that the first step of the emergency care we give her this. After a few days she got better and started eating her normal foods but I believe this saved her. Since then she has had tummy aches twice and both times we had a bag of this on her shelf and with love, care, and this emergency care she was up and hopping within 48 hours! I will always have this on her shelf!

I had 8 hammies at one point and a couple did get sick or had issue where they didn’t want to eat their seeds. We used this and they were able to get nutrients they needed. Kept it on hand in case of emergencies. Just make sure for your dwarves that you make it into more of a mushy paste so they get both hydration and nourishment. Thank you Good Vibes Vet and Dr. Moore for suggesting this for our ladies. Helped a lot.

This is a must for your guinea pig’s emergency kit. Better to have it on hand than wait to buy when you need it, because by the time you need it, it may be too late.

Great product everyone who owns bunnies should have this in their bunny emergency kit

I got this and the Strawberry Banana Flavor Oxbow Critical Care in anticipation of any illness in my guinea pigs since their health usually declines rapidly once they show signs of illness. One of my females has been having trouble with an infection (likely a re-occuring UTI due partly to having an abnormal bladder) and we had to wait for a bacteria culture to be tested so she could be placed on an appropriate antibiotic for treating it. During this time, she began eating less and seemed miserable. She began pooping from eating less and I began to fear GI stasis. Her vet recommended starting her on Critical Care and hand-feeding her veggies to ensure she was eating something. I started feeding her some Strawberry Banana Critical Care and she did not care for it. I called the vet and asked if there was anything else I could do. She recommended mixing in baby food (consisting of veggies or fruit) with it to entice her. I tried this and she nibbled on some but didn't appear to be as interested as I would have liked. I knew she did have an appetite because I got her to eat a whole serving of bell peppers.I then opened this bag of Fine Grind Critical Care and she just nibbled at it until I mixed in vegetable based baby food. She began to eat it vigorously. I have since been mixing some in this manner and placing it in her cage in a guinea pig food bowl. She will eat most of it on her own.I believe it has helped to keep her eating and consuming a decent amount of essential nutrients, along with helping her to avoid developing GI stasis. I am still offering pellets, a daily serving of fresh vegetables, and unlimited hay along with this, but I do see a difference in how active she is since I added this product to her diet.If you have guinea pigs, I would definitely recommend getting some of this to have on hand in case of illness as guinea pigs are notorious for having their health decline rapidly when they are ill. As soon as you notice any sign of lethargy or less eating, it can be beneficial to begin feeding this until you can be seen by a vet as guinea pigs need to constantly keep their gut moving and this is loaded with nutrients that can help them improve more quickly. This is also good to have on hand if your guinea pig has recently had a surgery as it can give them an extra boost and possibly aid in a faster, more uneventful recovery.

I ordered the papaya fine grind, as the other variation doesn't fit well into a syringe for feeding my guinea pig. Great product, my Guinea pig loves it and it has kept him alive while going through dental issues/abcesses.

If you have a reality as a pet this is a must have to keep in your household in case of GI Stasis and can save the life of a bunny
