Critical Care for herbivores

Q: How much do I give my guineapig ?

You need to mix it into a paste, about toothpaste consistency. Take the plunger out of the syringe and and put the food in the top. Do not try to suck it up as shown on a certain video site. Use a proper feeding tube that holds 10ml-15ml. I use Science Recovery Syringes when my piggies need feeding, not available on Amazon. This is good enough https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oral-Syringe-Baby-Elderly-10ml/dp/B002XO82VU/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1471880907&sr=8-4&keywords=feeding+syringe You need a long nozzle for feeding, as you must put the food in their cheek, not down the throat. Local vets may have appropriate syringes so ask them. So piggies, I have one, who will just eat Critical Care out of a bowl, so no need for a syringe.Guinea pigs have a fast metabolism, so they need to have food constantly passing through them. I always feed mine 15ml every 3 hrs, skipping just one during the night. I also liquidise some melon, cucumber or carrot to give afterwards. This makes sure they are getting a treat and plenty of sugar to keep them going. I have had no problems getting another 15ml of this in them after the 15ml Critical Care. Offer them water in a 1ml syringe a few times if they are not drinking.I have kept guinea pigs alive with dental and bladder problems in the past for ages doing this. Keeping them well fed helps them get over whatever is wrong with them. A small bag of Critical Care will only usually last a week at most. You can change it a couple of times a day to mashed up pellets. Keep the gust working and the nutrition going in, and your piggy will do well.

Q: How often do I feed my Degu this?

It really depends on how much they'll take at any one time. If you're getting very little into your degu, I'd suggest trying with a little bit more every couple of hours. But if they are eating it well then stick to dividing the daily recommended dose into roughly 6 portions and spread the feeds throughout the day.

Q: Is this okay for hamsters?

Yes - Critical Care is fine to give to hamsters. It is mostly made from Timothy hay which is good for them. Their normal diet should be more varied but when poorly or recovering from illness or surgery, this is ideal. I would recommend the Fine Grind rather than this ideally though as it mixes up more readily and is easier to draw up into a small syringe. Give 2 to 3 one ml syringes several times a day, ensuring the hamster gets enough water with the mix.

Q: Does the 454g come as a single packet or a set of smaller packets?

It's a single packet and was excellent as part of a package for helping my very ill bunny to recover from a digestive blockage. I gave him that by syringe and also blended kale, broccoli and pineapple juice and gave him that by syringe too. He is now back to full health.
