Review: Life saving nutritious food for our rabbit - Our Dutch bunny was 9 years old and got very ill last year and could not eat or drink on his own, even my vet was not giving too much hope that he would survive through the illness. With proper medication from our vet, we needed to figure out a way to provide nutrition to him. We did a bit of research online and consulted with our vet, we then purchased this as a critical care food to hand feed him several times a day by mixing the powder with water so he would get nutrition and water at the same time. He loved the Apple Banana flavor and took the mixture eagerly. At first we had to use a syringe to feed him , then later we switched using a baby spoon. We had to hand feed him for about 6 weeks. We purchased a smaller package first (5 oz) to try out then later purchased a bigger package (16 oz). He finished the smaller package and almost done with the bigger package before he could eat and drink on his own. during that 6 weeks, he managed to even gain some weight. We are grateful that there is a quality product like this to save our rabbit’s life. Now, he is a 10 year old Dutch Bunny and a happy bunny too! One note: you do need to get your own syringe and feeding spoon/ tube. Review: A True Lifesaver for Small Herbivores — Worth Having on Hand - Oxbow Critical Care is one of those products I sincerely believe every rabbit, guinea pig, or small herbivore owner should keep in their emergency kit. When an animal isn’t eating on their own due to GI stasis, dental issues, illness, or post-surgical recovery, this can quite literally be a lifesaving product. The powder mixes easily with warm water to your desired consistency and works well for syringe feeding or bowl feeding. I appreciate that it’s timothy hay–based with essential vitamins and minerals, so it supports gut health while providing complete nutrition during recovery. The fiber content is exactly what you want when supporting a compromised digestive system. Palatability is also a big win here — even picky animals tend to accept it far better than expected, especially when warmed slightly or mixed to a smooth consistency. The resealable packaging helps keep it fresh, which is important since you may not use it daily. This is not meant to replace regular feeding long-term, but as a recovery or emergency support food, it’s unmatched. I’ve seen firsthand how valuable it is when time matters and an animal needs nutrition immediately Pros: High-quality, vet-recommended formula, easy to mix and syringe feed, supports digestive health, very appetizing to most small animals, essential to have on hand for emergencies, smells like a tropical green smoothie, large portions for the price, and varying hardness/thickness depending on the animals preference, and so much more! Cons: Should be fed as a directed and not as a daily food replacement, and hard to find in stock at times. Overall, Oxbow Critical Care absolutely earns its reputation. If you care for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, or other herbivores, this is a must-have product you’ll be grateful to have when you need it most. Highly recommended. 🐰💚 ## Features - EASY TO MIX FORMULA: Oxbow Critical Care Herbivore blends easily with water for syringe feeding; Essential for any pet care emergency kit, this veterinarian-approved formula provides recovery support for rabbits, guinea pigs, and other herbivores - VERSATILE & EASY TO PREPARE: Oxbow Critical Care Herbivore is a must-have for bunny supplies and rabbit supplies; Simply mix with warm water for the right consistency; This essential guinea pig food and rabbit food supports recovery with vitamin C! - HIGH FIBER: Our formula is made with timothy hay for guinea pigs and rabbits to support digestion; Critical Care Herbivore provides essential nutrients with low carbohydrates, making it a key addition to any pet care emergency kit for small herbivores - PREBIOTIC RICH FORMULA: Oxbow Critical Care Herbivore supports gut health with beneficial prebiotics and chelated minerals; This essential rabbit food and guinea pig food is a vital addition to any pet care emergency kit for small herbivores - SMALL PET SAFE: Our formula contains no refined sugars, artificial preservatives, or simple carbohydrates; Our formula supports recovery for guinea pigs, rabbits, and other herbivores, making it an addition to your bunny food and guinea pig food supplies ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001FKACXO | | Additional Features | Recovery formula for small herbivores with poor nutritional status | | Age Range (Description) | All Life Stages | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Allergen Information | Preservative-Free | | Animal Food Diet Type | Veterinary Diet | | Animal Food Nutrient Content Claim | No Added Sugar | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,243 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #7 in Reptile & Amphibian Food #30 in Small Animal Food | | Brand | Oxbow | | Brand Name | Oxbow | | Breed Recommendation | Small Breeds | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 6,575 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Apple & Banana | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00744845701011 | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Type Name | Critical Care Herbivore | | Item Weight | 4.96 ounces | | Manufacturer | Oxbow Animal Health LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 103-450-0141 | | Model Number | 744845701011 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Pet Type | Small Animal | | Product Benefits | Easy to administer, promotes digestive health, and free from artificial ingredients | | Recommended Uses For Product | stomach issues, weaning, weight management | | Special Ingredients | Timothy Hay | | Specific Uses For Product | Stomach, Weaning, Weight | | Target Species | Rabbit, Guinea Pig, Chinchillas, Tortoise, Iguana, and other Herbivorous Species | | UPC | 744845701011 | | Unit Count | 4.97 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** Oxbow - **Flavor:** Apple & Banana - **Item Form:** Powder - **Specific Uses For Product:** Stomach, Weaning, Weight ## Images ![Oxbow Critical Care Herbivore, Rabbit & Guinea Pig, Apple Banana, 141 g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XWrcpmgjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it expire?** A: after you bought it. expiration is about 1 year .Once you opened the Packages its recommend that you used with in 30 days after 30 days throw it out . I always keep one Package on hand . I never know when my Guinea Pigs get Sick .This Critical Care Is great.I give it 10 Stars .Please buy it . **Q: Is this food suitable for Bearded Dragons?** A: The oxbow website, and bearded dragon website suggest oxbow carnivore care for bearded dragons..this one is for herbivores. **Q: How long will one bag of 141g last, specifically for guinea pigs?** A: I have a Chinchiia. I am not sure. Would depend on how much you feed it . I only used about 2 wks and Chinchillia is fine now. She should go back to eating here or his regular meals. I did take my Chinchillia to a Vet. She is doing fine now. I do not think it is a good idea to feed it for ever with this product. Just till they feel better.I did put in the fridge and think it helps with the shelf life. I think all expire in 30 days. Hope helped some. Sherry **Q: Is this suitable for hamsters** A: Hamsters are omnivores not herbivores, so probably not ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life saving nutritious food for our rabbit *by A***R on September 24, 2026* Our Dutch bunny was 9 years old and got very ill last year and could not eat or drink on his own, even my vet was not giving too much hope that he would survive through the illness.
