Yup, I also mix it wih baby food and warm water. I find that apple, pear and banana flavours work well. I then use a 5ml syringe and find that it goes through ok.

I also use a babies bib on the bunny to help cut down the mess!

We mix in a spoonful of baby food, usually apple and pear flavour makes consistency so much easier to syringe and have had some rabbits lick it up when you leave it in the kennel with them.

I also spread it on slices of apple or grapes for rabbits that are only eating fruit and veg not their dry food, doesnt always work but worth a try!

The Oxbow is nicer than the Supreme. It smells of aniseed and the small furries like the taste alot more.

The fine grind and normal both come in sachets.

We use 60ml catheter tipped syringes, the hole in the end is big enough so nothing gets stuck, but they're not too big that it is uncomfortable for rabbits, guinea pigs or chinchillas.

We use Oxbow Critical Care Formula instead of the Supreme stuff, which comes in regular and 'super fine'. The super fine makes up as more of a paste with tiny bits of fibre (so no grinding down or sieving like we used to do!), so its useful for syringe feeding patinets with small or mouths or for tube feeding.

Cutting the end off a plastic lab pipette also works well!

if you can get hold of an unused metacam syringe - make the hole in the end of the syringe just a little bit wider and it sucks up recovery really well

Cut the end off a small (1 or 2ml syringe) and then suck it up.
