FAQs
Can I feed this to hamsters?
This product is specifically formulated for small herbivores like rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus. Consult your vet before using on other species.
How many sachets should I use per day?
Feeding amounts depend on the animal's size and medical condition. Always follow the specific feeding guidelines provided by your veterinarian.
Do I need to mix the whole sachet at once?
Yes, it is recommended to mix the sachet as directed to ensure the nutritional balance is maintained, and use it promptly.
Is this a permanent diet?

Can I store the prepared mixture in the fridge?
It is not recommended to store the prepared mixture. It should be made fresh for each feeding session to ensure safety and palatability.

Add a small amount of extra warm water until the desired smooth, flowing consistency is reached.
Pet is struggling to swallow
Ensure the animal is held in a comfortable, upright position and administer very small amounts slowly to the side of the mouth.
Pet refuses to eat the mixture
Ensure the mixture is at room or body temperature and try feeding in a quiet, stress-free environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the recovery diet, use a high-quality 10ml or 20ml catheter-tip syringe for best results. Ensure the mixture is lukewarm, as extreme temperatures can damage the probiotics or cause stress to the animal. Always store unused sachets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once mixed with water, the product should be used immediately; discard any remaining paste that has been standing for more than an hour to avoid bacterial growth. Always ensure the animal has access to fresh hay and water alongside this supplemental diet unless otherwise directed by your veterinarian.
