Digestive Support Rabbit & Guinea Pig Supplement, Timothy Hay, 4.2 oz | Digestive Support, Timothy Hay, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Supplement, Chicory Root, Ginger Root, Chamomile, Healthy Digestion

I’ve been using Oxbow Natural Science Digestive Support for over a year, and it’s become a daily staple for my rabbit. Made with timothy hay, chicory root, ginger, and chamomile, these high-fiber tabs help keep his digestion regular—especially during times of stress or seasonal shedding. They eat them eagerly like treats, and I’ve noticed fewer digestive slowdowns and healthier droppings since adding these to their routine. The ingredients are clean, vet-recommended, and the product is made in the USA, which gives me peace of mind. Highly recommended for any rabbit owner looking to support gut health naturally and effectively.

This is a great treat for your rabbit. In truth, I can't really testify to how much it can lead to medicinal benefits for them, it is still possible for them to get GI Stasis with this, but I think it helps and either way they seem to enjoy it as a treat.

My guinea pig had loose stool...almost diarrhea. I stopped giving fresh veggies...I then tried this product. Within three days his poop was solid. I am so happy these worked as well as they do. I would suggest trying these for GI issues.

My rabbit literally demands these every single morning as soon as I wake up. They don't smell at all, he obviously thinks they taste great. I have bought them for about 3 years now. They are worth the money for the amount of happiness they bring him, and the fact that he thinks he is getting a treat, but he is actually getting a vitamin. They last a long time if you give half of a treat as recommended on the back.

I am leaving this review the morning after a GI Stasis scare that ended with a 2 hour drive to the nearest ER that can treat exotics (for any new bunny owners, it's VERY important to have a rabbit-savvy veterinarian, as their bodies do not function as cats or dogs). We have had quite a few scares as our bunny has gotten older (he will be 11 years old this summer). Our bag of treats arrived today, and our rabbit has started to run around after having just a quarter of a treat. Pyewackett started having some tummy upsets around age 8, usually when mum or dad is away on a trip. We started to use Oxbow exclusively since RHDV2 for Pyewackett's pellets, litter, and hay, because they do rigorous testing on their products. Of course we wish the 3 of us were together every single day, but the logistics of life aren't that simple. We started trying Oxbow Digestive treats after reading another amazon review, written by the owner of another senior rabbit. Since we started to give a quarter of these biscuits as a daily treat, our rabbit hasn't experienced stasis. I'm writing this review because it was about 2 weeks after we'd run out of treats that we had GI stasis that warranted an ER visit. My husband and I truly believe that there is a correlation between using Digestive Support and our senior bunny having normal digestion, however, I AM NOT GIVING MEDICAL ADVICE. When we have treated GI problems at home, it has been strictly according to our bunny's long-time specialist, as well Pyewackett's medical history. For reference, our rabbit is a Netherland Dwarf, under 1 lb, and 10 years old.

Good quality, my indoor, free roam lop loves these. I have every variety they offer and they all work well.

Oxbow has recently made some major changes to their product lineup. They have discontinued some of their products and introduced new ones under a new product family called Natural Science. Included in this new lineup of products is this Natural Science Digestive Supplement, which is designed to promote gastrointestinal health in various small animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and various other small animals. And while I think this is a very beneficial product in certain scenarios, my review is concentrated on a rabbit owner attempting to move from Oxbow's older digestive supplement to this new one, and why I am not as happy with this as the digestive health product it replaced. For around 5 years, my rabbit was given a digestive supplement that Oxbow made called Papaya Fruit Plus. This fruit tablet contained digestive enzymes found in pineapple (Bromelain) and papaya (Papain), and has played a huge role in my rabbit's wellbeing. Based on what I have read & observed first-hand, I feel pineapple and papaya both help to normalize gut motility and digestion, and may help the body better utilize nutrients from other food sources. It is often given to rabbits to attempt to reduce the chance of deadly GI stasis from certain causes, as well as help avoid hair blockages (which is deadly for rabbits given they are unable to vomit and therefore must pass the hair.) Papaya Fruit Plus helped keep my bun's GI system functioning normally, and protected her from a GI blockage caused by hair accumulation. In other words, I found the product to be extremely effective and the active ingredients were ones that most other rabbit foods did not have. These unique active ingredients made the supplement into an additional layer to a healthy diet already using a high-quality pellet food, good timothy hay, and fresh vegetables, but without having ingredients which were redundant to the good-quality pellet food. It was also a product that most rabbits would eagerly accept, which is a big plus in and of itself. In September 2014, Oxbow discontinued Papaya Fruit Plus without having any direct replacement for it. Why they did this I do not know, but it has left a gap in my rabbit's nutrition. The most similar product is this Natural Science Digestive Supplement, but the two are radically different products. Papaya Fruit Plus uses enzymes found in pineapple and papaya. Natural Science Digestive Supplement is a timothy hay-based supplement that contains various added ingredients to form a multivitamin of sorts (but it does NOT contain pineapple or papaya). I attempted to switch to this Digestive Supplement with limited success. The first issue I ran into was that my rabbit just does not care for these as much as the Papaya Fruit Plus tablets, and she's usually not very picky. Usually she will eventually eat them, but reluctantly. While that doesn't mean these taste bad or that your rabbit(s) will or will not like them, it does mean my own rabbit is not a big fan and so feeding them is more of a pain in my personal situation. Additionally, Natural Science Digestive Supplement lacks the two main ingredients of Papaya Fruit Plus, and is VERY similar in makeup to Oxbow's premium pellet foods. I am already feeding my rabbit a mix of Oxbow Bunny Basics T and Oxbow Natural Science Rabbit...these pellet foods have a VERY complete nutrient profile and are already providing my bun with most of the nutrients found in Natural Science Digestive Supplement. Since my rabbit is already getting most of these nutrients in a sufficient quantity from her pellet food, is further increasing nutrient intake is beneficial or desirable? Oxbow's pellet foods use a balance of nutrients that are not too little and not too much...does further increasing these potentially upset this balance? And if so, are there potential risks? (I'm honestly not sure but would love to hear the opinion of an expert in rabbit nutrition as I am very curious.) Beyond this, Natural Science Digestive Supplement lacks both pineapple and papaya and those were the two ingredients that were why I justified using a supplement in addition to an already-balanced diet. After running out of Papaya Fruit Plus and moving exclusively to this, I noticed my rabbit's poop wasn't its normally ideal consistency of larger, round, and firm pellets of a consistent color (to non rabbit owners that probably sounds funny or weird, but rabbits making good poops is of the utmost concern because it speaks directly to health and is a tell-tale sign when something is not optimal, wrong, seriously wrong, etc.) At that point I purchased some remaining stock of Papaya Fruit Plus (for a very inflated price) and things went back to normal. So while many rabbits have or can benefit from Natural Science Digestive Supplement, it does not fulfill the role that Oxbow's discontinued Papaya Fruit Plus supplement played for my own rabbit. Natural Science Digestive Supplement does have a very complete nutrient profile, and is probably an excellent choice if someone needs a product to provide a significant amount of essential nutrients in a small-sized package, and it's certainly an excellent choice in supplying essential nutrients for rabbits that do not like to eat pellet foods. But because I am already using Oxbow's excellent pellet food and my rabbit eats it readily, I am not sure if further increasing nutrient intake is necessary, or how much this product will benefit rabbit owners already feeding their rabbits Oxbow's excellent pellet foods. As of right now, I am not sure what I am going to do when I can no longer find remaining bottles of Papaya Fruit Plus, but I do not think Natural Science Digestive Supplement will be able to take its place. Therefore, I recommend this product conditionally. In certain cases it is arguably a fantastic choice to supply a very complete profile of essential nutrients, especially if your rabbit does not like to eat fortified pellet food or needs nutrient intake beyond what an appropriate serving of pellet food can supply. However, if you have been using Papaya Fruit Plus and are looking for a replacement, I cannot recommend Natural Science Digestive Supplement.

A must-have, not kidding. My bun Rosie learned to climb, stole the whole bag, ate so many it gave me a heart attack, and then proceeded to have the healthiest poops I have ever seen her have. She runs to me every morning for her cookie and LOVES them. I’ve definitely seen a shift in her energy level and digestive health since giving her one every day. They smell nice and gingery and the bag lasts at least two months.

Rabbits love them and appears to help resolve any digestive issues. Just wish they weren't so expensive!

Ho acquistato questo prodotto per la mia coniglietta su consiglio del veterinario, con l’obiettivo di supportare la sua motilità gastrica e favorire una digestione sana. Dopo alcune settimane di utilizzo, posso dire di essere pienamente soddisfatta dei risultati e dell’esperienza complessiva in termini di: - Efficacia e benefici: Il supplemento sembra avere un impatto molto positivo sul benessere digestivo della mia coniglietta. Da quando lo utilizza, il suo transito intestinale è regolare, e appare più distesa durante la giornata. È un ottimo alleato per chi ha animali sensibili a livello gastrointestinale, soprattutto nei periodi di cambiamento alimentare o di stress; - Appetibilità: Uno dei punti di forza maggiori è l’appetibilità: la mia coniglietta adora questi biscottini! Ogni mattina e ogni pomeriggio aspetta con entusiasmo il suo momento “snack”, e si percepisce chiaramente quanto li gradisca. È diventato un vero e proprio rituale di coccole quotidiane. - Composizione e qualità: Come tutti i prodotti Oxbow, anche questo si distingue per la qualità degli ingredienti: naturali, sicuri e privi di zuccheri aggiunti o componenti artificiali dannosi. La formula contiene erbe e fibre specifiche per favorire la digestione, contribuendo in modo naturale alla salute dell’apparato gastrointestinale dei piccoli animali. - Rapporto qualità-prezzo: Il prezzo è in linea con la qualità del prodotto e la fiducia che il marchio Oxbow dona.

In conclusione, sono estremamente soddisfatta di questo prodotto che unisce efficacia, sicurezza e gradimento in un’unica soluzione. La mia coniglietta lo ama e io sono tranquilla sapendo che le sto offrendo qualcosa che le fa bene.

Acheté pour un chinchilla qui est assez difficile. Mon animal refuse de le manger. J'ai goutté et pour sa défense c'est vrai que ça a un drôle de gout. Je pense qu'ils auraient dû rajouter des arômes : mélisse, camomille par exemple pour rendre cela plus appétant, certains animaux étant plus difficiles que d'autres.
