55 Life saver.

Fantastic product. My guinea pig loves this stuff, no 'force feeding' needed in my case.. she's just had surgery and critical care is keeping her going. Also very handy for mixing meds in, rather than having to syringe feed them/stress them.

55 Looking after Bob my sick chinchilla after dental surgery
Verified Purchase

By on 28 February 2018

Oxbow great product great to syringe feed my chinchilla as he was not eating and losing weight. Violet sent the packs very quickly and really listen to the customer. Bob is much better now and getting back to his self - we love him as he is really intelligent and would really miss him if we had lost him. Thanks Viovet for everything Ann.

How far does this go? Does it keep for a long time?

Rebekah

  • VioVet customer since 2014
  • From: Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, United Kingdom

Hello,
I'm just curious, how far will a packet of this go? Specifically for a medium sized-large adult rabbit?

Also, how long wil it keep? I have three rabbits, one 11yr old cinnamon doe and two 14 week old kits - a dutch (possible dutch cross) and a rex - who I will probably get spayed soon (once old enough), and I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to keep some of this stored in case of emergency.
Would it also be suitable for my kits after their future spay?

This product can be used in a few different ways, with other foods or on its own. The recommended amount to give is up to 3 tablespoons per kg bodyweight. It comes in sealed foil pouches and our current stocks are dated best before end of Dec 2015. Once the pouch is open, then ideally it is used up in 24 hours.
