Supreme Recovery liquid feed for small herbivores is designed to be a complete food for animals that are sick or recuperating. During illness, animals that are reluctant to eat food can still receive all the essential nutrients they require with this product. The levels of protein, carbohydrates and fibre are elevated above that of a regular diet to expedite recovery and each sachet provides the average 2.5kg rabbit with one full days' feed, which can be given in small amounts at regular intervals throughout the day.
Certain herbivores, in particular rabbits can have an extremely sensitive gut when ill and this can lead to secondary problems. Lack of appetite and not feeding regularly can lead to gut stasis, so it is vital to provide these sick animals with an alternative source of nutrition with high fibre levels to prevent irreversible damage. This product also rehydrates the patient.
