Some of my guinea pigs are fussy about their food, and it can be difficult to get them to eat other brands of emergency nutrition foods like this when they are ill or not eating well on their own. I usually feed them some each month as a 'treat' to get them used to eating from a syringe so if/when they get sick, it's easier. I thought I'd have a hard time transitioning some of them to this but I needn't have feared - they all tried to steal the spoon and run away with it! They absolutely loved the flavor. I am glad to have found another food option for nutritional support when my guinea pigs are ill. Also, although I fed them a small amount as I introduced a new food, none of them got sick/bloated/anything else - it seemed gentle on their tummies. Very happy to have found this product and highly recommend it! It's also a very fine grind, so it works well in syringe feeding.

One of our piggies is recovering after a serious medical issue and our vet gave us a bag of Emeraid to try instead of a competitor’s product that we’ve used in the past. Our little sick girl couldn’t get enough of Emeraid - we had to order more bags because she was begging for it! Any good guinea pig owner should have a bag like this handy in case of emergencies so your baby can keep getting nutrition. But it’s made us fans!

EmerAid Sustain Nutritionally Complete Recovery Food for Herbivores - 100 Grams

Our guinea pig loves this Emeraid Sustain. Highly recommend.

This product is sold stating that it can be administered through a syringe, however it will not pull up into a syringe or be expelled from a syringe. It is too thick with chunks to use through any feeding tube, medal or otherwise. Content of the food appeared to be good because it would have to be sprinkled on the food or fed in chunks.
