Oxbow Critical Care Herbivore Fine Grind Papaya 100g

Oxbow Critical Care Herbivore Fine Grind — Papaya Flavour, 100g

Vet-recommended nutritional support for ill, injured, or post-surgical small herbivores.

About This Product

Oxbow Critical Care Fine Grind delivers the same essential recovery nutrition as the original Critical Care formula, but with a finer particle size engineered to flow freely through nasogastric feeding tubes as small as 5 Fr. The papaya flavour enhances palatability, encouraging voluntary intake even in compromised patients. It is ideal for young, small, or weak herbivores who require precise nutritional intervention.

Key Benefits

• Finer particle size than standard Critical Care — designed for tube feeding (5 Fr and larger)
• Highly versatile: tube-fed, syringe-fed, spoon-fed, or self-fed from a bowl or as a top dressing
• High in fiber; low in carbohydrates — mirrors the natural herbivore diet
• Contains chelated minerals for superior bioavailability
• Enriched with beneficial prebiotics (inulin) to support gut microbiome
• Powdered formula mixes easily to any desired consistency
• Papaya and pineapple inclusions support digestive enzyme activity

Suitable For

Rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, degus, and other small herbivores requiring assisted feeding or nutritional recovery support.

Feeding Directions

Mix 1 part Critical Care Fine Grind with 3 parts warm water. Adjust water volume to achieve optimal consistency for the chosen feeding method. Divide the daily amount into 4–6 servings, or as directed by your veterinarian. When using feeding tubes, flush thoroughly with warm water after each feeding to prevent obstruction. Fresh water must be available at all times.
