EMERAID Sustain Herbivore (100 g, Apple & Banana)

I had a very weak and under weight guinea pig that refused to eat the oxbow critter critical care when I had to syringe feed him for under weight due to teeth problems. So I did some research and found this food and he absolutely loved it. I mixed it with a little water and some non sweet apple sauce or vegetable baby food, and he ate it. It's a great change from oxbow since it's so grainy and hard to get your pet to eat. Why did you pick this product vs others?:Less grainy and easier to add to syringe Nutrition:Great substitute to oxbow Effectiveness:My guinea pig ate itSmell:It smelled of peppermint Value for money:I wished you get more the price

I got this for my guinea pig who was refusing to take his liquid medication. I tried mixing the medication with this, but he still refused to eat it. However, it did come in handy when he stopped eating his pellets and hay. He just wouldn't eat it when the medication was mixed in it, which is no fault of the product. It's easy to mix up and the smell isn't too bad.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
