Sustain Herbivore (100 g, Apple & Banana)

My bunny’s adrenal tumor impacts his appetite for pellets and hay so the vet said to syringe feed him, gave me this during the period when Critical Care was unavailable. My bunny, who was losing muscle, is now close to where he was before. He is an extremely picky eater and loves this. I probably couldn’t have forced food 3 times a day for months, so having him happy to eat it is huge. It’s keeping him alive and I’m grateful to have it. When I first open each bag, it smells like apple. If you’re having issues with your herbivore eating, definitely give this a try.

Piggies love it, so should you!

my very picky bunny preferred this over critical care anise but a bit less than critical care papaya. it’s finely ground and easy to syringe feed.

Our 15-year-old rabbit Ben who suddenly became a paraplegic thrived on this product. We are so thankful for it. Ben gained his weight back and survived an additional 15 months. Honestly, this product is a miracle product, we highly recommend it. Thank you to the manufacturers for creating it. It was Ben’s favorite food.

I have a chinchilla who has been dependent on Oxbow Critical Care. When it came time to order more, I couldn't seem to find it anywhere. The more my current supply dwindled, the more frantically I searched for a source to buy some more. Long story short, I tried ordering from several places, only to have my orders canceled because there really wasn't anything in stock. I got online and found this stuff listed as an alternative in a rabbit owner's forum. I was desperate. I decided to give it a try.The first thing I noticed when I opened the bag is the color. It was a nice rich green. It smelled fresh - no overpowering fake apple/banana or licorice smell. I make it a thick pasty consistency and she eats it our of a condiment dish. It absorbed the water quickly and thickened up nicely.The real test was the chinchilla. She is a very picky eater. As it so happens, she loves it! She devoured every last bit and even licked the bowl. I have already ordered more and I'm seriously considering switching over to this completely. I'm going to give it a week to see how well she tolerates it. Definitely 5 stars. I couldn't be happier.

all good except the package smelled like the weed you smoke the delivery driver must have been smoking it on the job!!!

My guinea pig loved this, I didn't have to syringe feed. I normally bought Critical care but had issues of my piggies not liking the taste of it. With the Emeraid mint flavor not only was my piggy eating it unassisted they were also starting to feel better quicker!9/4/24- Adding another review for a different guinea pig or mine. With this other piggy I've needed to use Critical Care brand name but was finding myself force feeding him and he was still not ingesting the feed. He is a stubborn boy and will squirm out of your arms to avoid being forced fed.Today I noticed he needed this feed and didn't need to force feed it to him. I put the mixture in a bowl like I did with my previous piggy and he ate it with no problem. No more stressing him out when he is in a time of need!

Our vet recommended this for our guinea pig when we couldn't get Oxbow critical care formula (supply chain issues). I found it easier to mix & dispense from a feeding syringe (the Oxbow didn't seem to mix quite evenly and the last cc would be very hard to push out). Peanut thinks it's delicious. He'll eat it even when he's feeling crummy, and when we were just trying to get a little more weight back on him, he absolutely gobbled it.
