Ingredients 

I have had to syringe feed my little Simba many times over the past year. I have the same problem that he spits stuff out. In fact I find that although he hates being syringed anything he prefers medicine to Oxbow Critical Care or Supreme Science mix or pureed pellets. He just hates being syringe fed food. I found it easier when I bought the Supreme Science syringe for a start, as all of the fibre goes through the syringe (other syringes nozzles were so narrow only murky water went through). Simba tends to hold the liquid food in his mouth for ages (several minutes) andthen tries to spit it out. I tend to pretend to do something else and then he might swallow most of it thinking it's the last mouthful. But as he spits so much out, I do a full syringe and bit by bit feed it all to him so that even though he spits some out I know he gets some.

If you notice your rabbit stops producing caecotrophs or dry poop pellets, it could also indicate they have gut stasis- a serious condition in bunnies. The food material then enters the proximal colon and the caecum, where it’s separated into two parts- digestible and indigestible. The indigestible food is used to help keep your bunny’s gut moving along – a process called peristalsis. Once the indigestible part of the food matter has moved through the rest of the digestive tract, it will then be excreted as hard, fibrous faeces.

Hello, I have two lionheads, one long haired who is moulting at the moment, Fibreplex is an excellent tool to have close by if your rabbit experiences runny poos but it is the roughage you really need at the moment to carry the ingested fur out. Your bunny eats their food for the first time, they give it a good old chew, before it enters their digestive system. The longer chewing times that are required for tough, fibrous foods is a positive for rabbits as they have constantly growing teeth that need to be constantly worn down. And fibre is essential for rabbits to ensure they stay healthy.
