You can split this up into three feeding sessions by giving them 30mL in the morning, 30mL in the afternoon, and another 30mL in the evening.

Rabbit Recovery Food Give your rabbit ready access to all of their needs so they don’t need to move around too much. Make sure they have a bowl of water, rather than a bottle, since that’s easier for them to drink from. You’ll also want to have pellets, hay, and fresh leafy greens in piles nearby. The greens are especially important at first since these are more tempting. Your rabbit will be more willing to eat these, which can help them get their digestive system going again. Oxbow’s critical care rabbit foodis a high-fibre diet designed to support a bunny’s digestive health during illness or recovery. When you get a rabbit you should ask exactly what food your baby has been eating and make sure you get a supply of the same brand food to start you off. In most cases it will do less harm to continue temporarily with a bad diet e.g. low quality pellets or mix, rather than make a sudden change to a 'good' diet.Oxbow critical careis popular at major pet stores like PetSmart and Petco. It is highly advisable to keep this at home, especially if you have rabbits. How Much Critical Care to Feed Your Rabbit

Offering critical care for rabbitshelps maintain their nutritional intake during times of illness or stress.It should only take a day or less for your rabbit to recover from anesthesia. They should be showing more signs of awareness by the following day, and react to you when you touch or pet them. However, your rabbit may remain mostly still or off balance for a few days due to the discomfort of the incision and surgical procedure. What if your rabbit isn’t eating or pooping?

Oxbow’s critical care at Tractor Supplyis one place to find this essential product for your pet’s nutritional needs. Rabbits are adapted to live mainly off grass, which isn’t exactly a high-energy food. To deal with this, they’ve developed a highly specialised digestive system that depends on a continual input of food. If they stop eating, their gut will slow down and this can lead to a condition called ‘gastrointestinal stasis’.

PetSmart’s Oxbow critical careproduct range offers specially formulated feeds for small pets during illness or recovery.
