It says on the package (middle photo) that it's safe for rabbits. The feeding amount is indicated in the instructions at the back. In the case of a two-week-old baby, Please look up the product on the internet and read the description.
They don't make the anise-flavored one anymore. They did a year ago, but I bought some more last week and wanted the anise-flavored ones, but they were out of stock. It's all apple-related now. It can also be flavored with bananas, which is fine.
Because hay is so important to a bunny, I wouldn't recommend using this as a daily hay replacement. Bunnies need to chew to digest food and keep their teeth from growing out of their sockets. I'd include it in his diet while still encouraging him to eat hay. If a bunny's chewing becomes difficult as they get older due to dental problems, this can be used to supplement nutrition.
If you can't find it in Germany, look for the Selective Science Recovery Plus brand (based in the United Kingdom).
Selected User Reviews For Oxbow Animal Health Critical Care, Herbivore, Anise Flavor, 454 Gram Bag, 70104
Both of them sat in pain on the corner, not eating or drinking. They also refused to eat when I fed them by hand. As a result, my mother and I made the decision to force feed the Oxbow Critical Care. We had to forcefully pick them up and bottle/syringe feed this stuff to them. It should be enough to mix 3 tablespoons with 3 tablespoons of water. If they resist, simply shove it into their mouth; they'll eat or swallow it. They require the nutrients to combat GI stasis, and the fiber from Critical Care will aid in the movement of things. br>br>I also put Ben- in there. Bac, a probiotic, and some gas drops for human babies are included in the Oxbow Critical Care kit in case anything goes wrong. I didn't want to just take them to the vet because it was too far away and would be too expensive. After 1- This took about 2 - 3 days to feed. Both are now healthy when they eat three times a day. Eating and playing in a normal manner. Both of them pooped GIANT round poops with tons of mucus covering them shortly after being fed. When my mother dug into the poop, she discovered a massive fur ball. It's no surprise that they're having trouble passing stools. br>br>What is the cause? I believe I am to blame because, in addition to their hay and pellets, I have been feeding them banana, carrots, blueberries, and cilantro on a daily basis. They were full from the fruits, so they ate less hay/pellet, resulting in a lower fiber intake. I've decided to stop giving them fruits. Cilantro that has been lightly soaked in water to keep it hydrated. Both of them are herb fans. Meadow hay, oat hay, Timothy hay, and Alfalfa hay were among the items I purchased. Meadow and Alfalfa hay, as well as Timothy hay pressed pellets, are their only sources of nutrition. Prevention is the best cure. br>br> As a result, only hay and hay pressed pellets should be fed to them. As a snack, hydrate yourself by soaking vegetables in water. This is the best way to care for your pet rabbit while also avoiding a costly vet bill. You should purchase Critical Care in case of an emergency because you never know what might happen. I strongly advise you to do so. I hope this information is useful to you.
I had to look for this critical care food for a while before feeding it to him. He increased his weight from 97 to 445 grams! He put on weight and now appears to be in better health than he was previously! I was worried that he wouldn't eat after I bought the product, but he's eating it happily and has regained the weight he lost before his teeth were trimmed, which was 134 grams! br>(Conversion from grams to ounces)br>97 g = 3. br>(Conversion from grams to ounces)br>(Conversion from grams to ounces)br>(Conversion from grams to ounces)br>(Conversion from grams to ounces)br>(Conversion from grams to ounces)br>(Conversion from ounces to grams)br>(Conversion from grams to ounces) 134 g = 422 ozbr>422 ozbr>422 ozbr>422 ozb 445 g = 72671 ozbr>72671 ozbr>72671 ozbr>72671 ozb 6969 ozbr>I highly recommend this food to anyone who owns a herbivore animal! September 2020: br>br> My Chinchilla has gotten a new update: After three months of eating the food, the results are excellent, and he is much healthier than when he first began to have problems! At 505 g (weight), I mixed two scoopfuls of the food with four scoopfuls of warm water, and he's happily munching away at everything I've prepared for him (he doesn't like being fed from a syringe).
I'm relieved to have received it. I've been using this for our sick guinea pig for two weeks. I started her on Sherwood Small Animal Rescue X, which she loved, but then switched to Critical Care because it has a finer grind and easily goes through a syringe. Our little girl has been known to consume 15 full 5ml syringes of it in one sitting. Even though she "wolfs it down," it takes about half an hour to complete, and she simply wants to eat more. br>br>This, along with the Sherwood SARx, has helped our five-year-old guinea pig gain weight after she had stopped eating and drinking and was unable to move on her own. We feed her every two and a half to three hours - But not at 3 a. m. If you could see her while I'm feeding her, you'd have no idea she was sick. br>br>Before Christmas last year, our guinea pig appeared to be very ill, but she recovered, and only recently began to lose her mobility. She wouldn't eat a slurry of regular guinea pig pellets with gusto, but she adores this stuff. I make sure she gets a good drink of water before I start feeding her, because I don't want her to aspirate while trying to drink with the Critical Care in her mouth. I usually do a 5:1 ratio. She can eat it easily because of the 1:1 ratio. Any other ratio would have made eating impossible for her. br>br>Because she has also lost one bottom tooth, she is primarily eating with her back molars, making it extremely difficult for her to eat anything unless we hand-feed her. Our main concern was regaining her weight, which we were able to do thanks to the Oxbow Critical Care and the Sherwood SARx. It smells like anise, and our guinea pig seems to enjoy the smell as well as the taste!br>br>UPDATE - 23 September 2016: Our little girl is still alive, and we can't believe it. Her lower left tooth has nearly fully grown back in, despite her poor health. We continue to administer Critical Care to her approximately six times per day. If we hadn't fed her this, I'm sure she wouldn't be alive today. In addition to the Critical Care, we've recently started giving her a few finely shredded fresh Echinacea leaves per day. Coneflowers are technically Echinacea, and they appear to benefit her if you have them growing. Oxbow's product has exceeded my expectations!.
" The improvement in photos is self-evident. OxBow Critical Care has saved lives on numerous occasions. I run a reptile rescue and rehabilitation clinic, which has allowed me to make a difference in the lives of animals. I've included a BEFORE image. AFTER photo of one of our Iguana rescues to demonstrate the benefits of using this product, which is always a good idea to have on hand. It has a pleasant odor. When I syringe feed this to my reptiles, they usually don't have any issues with the taste. I absolutely adore this! It's fantastic, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
