Oxbow Animal Health Critical Care, Herbivore, Anise Flavor, 454 Gram Bag, 70104

Amazing product... I brought this for my guinea pig who lost his partner and he stopped eating nuggets and only was eating peppers... after buying this product I fed him this for a week then slowly mixed it in with his nuggets now he’s fully back on nuggets and I still give him this every now and then... I highly recommend this product it’s a life saver and my guinea pig is now back to a healthy weight. It was also super quick to arrive that’s why I give this product a 5/5

This stuff is literally a life saver for my bunnies. It has got them through several " not eating " crisis (stasis). They love the flavour lots especially if mixed with a little honey and water, and this just helps stimulate their appetite. Or if their stasis is so bad that they won't eat this, it can be made in to a thick liquid and syringed into their mouths. It's brilliant and versatile.

Kept our bunny Alive! We had to rely on the critical care mix after our rabbit developed a serious mouth problem. Without it she would have simple starved to death. Easy to mix up and also to feed via a syringe. Smells nice too!

Big bag of critical care for this price is a very good deal I have a sick degu and they're eating well now.

This is a life saver for small herbivores. Just make sure you mix it into a paste and insert it into the top of the syringe. The syringe needs to be a proper feeding one for large rats, guinea pigs and rabbits, such as the 'recovery feeding syringe'. Guinea pigs need to be fed 120ml a day minimum, adjust the amount for the size of other animals. When feeding a guinea pig, the syringe head needs to go in at an angle so the food goes into the cheek, never put it straight down the mouth. The syringe head should go in about 2cms, any less and little piggy may spit it out. They will eat 1ml-ml per mouthful. Give them 15ml minimum per feed, but they can fit 30ml in the stomach.

One guinea likes it a little, one not at all.

I bought the larger pack size so that it lasts longer. I always make sure I have a pack for emergencies on hand because you never know when you may need it especially since I take care of quite a few bunnies. I highly recommend Oxbow Critical Care but I also recommend blending it with Excel or a pellet of your choice to make it last longer otherwise you can go through it quite quickly. I usually also order a big box of 1 mil syringes off amazon as well so I have a good supply when needing to syringe feed.

Won’t let me return. Have used for years and normally smells lovely and of aniseed. This batch smells awful and I’m concerned it’s contaminated or off. Anxious to speak to seller
