EmerAid Sustain Herbivore - Mint 100g

EmerAid ® Sustain ™ Herbivore is a therapeutic diet scientifically designed to support herbivorous mammals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas, and herbivorous reptiles, such as adult iguanas, all tortoises, and some turtles, recovering from critical illness, suffering from chronic medical conditions, or underweight. Sustain Herbivore is also designed to transition the debilitated herbivore from intensive care nutrition to normal feeding. As a recovery diet, EmerAid Sustain Herbivore contains more whole nutrients than EmerAid Intensive Care Herbivore. Developed by an expert panel, including exotic animal veterinarians, emergency clinicians, and nutritionists, this high fiber, therapeutic diet is easily absorbed and highly digestible.
Mixes easily with water to create a high-energy formula. Exceeds nutritional requirements for all nutrients for rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas

EmerAid ® Sustain ™ Herbivore is safe for longterm use if necessary, however weight gain must be monitored as this food is ~ 20% more energy dense than other foods.
