Oxbow Natural Science Digestive Support, High Fiber Supplement for Rabbit & Guinea Pig, Made with Timothy Hay, Includes Chicory Root, Ginger Root, Chamomile, Made in USA, 4.2 oz Bag

I’ve been using Oxbow Natural Science Digestive Support for over a year, and it’s become a daily staple for my rabbit. Made with timothy hay, chicory root, ginger, and chamomile, these high-fiber tabs help keep his digestion regular—especially during times of stress or seasonal shedding.They eat them eagerly like treats, and I’ve noticed fewer digestive slowdowns and healthier droppings since adding these to their routine. The ingredients are clean, vet-recommended, and the product is made in the USA, which gives me peace of mind.Highly recommended for any rabbit owner looking to support gut health naturally and effectively.

Great quality, my two guinea pigs love these treats. And they’re great for their tummies and help their digestion. I’ve ordered plenty of products from Oxbow and have never had an issue. These treats are natural and are my go to! Highly recommend.

We always have these on hand. Our bunny gets one every morning to keep his digestive system moving. He loves them and practically climbs your leg trying to get to it faster. The price here is much more affordable than the pet supply stores in my area.

Purchased these after my rabbit started to experience tummy trouble. She was hesitant to try them, but after a couple days, she decided she loves them. I give her a half tablet in the morning and evening with her lettuce, as well as a quarter piece during her afternoon nap. Easy to snap in portions without crumbling. The zipper bag make storage more convenient. Overall, these supplements seem to have helped my rabbit's digestive health while also being a treat for her to look forward to. I would recommend this product.

Great digestion supplement for rabbits. Make sure to follow the advice from your vet and the instructions on the bag for weight and age

Simply the BEST treats my Buns have had, I changed over to these when my baby boy seem to be constipated all the time, so we've changed over his food, took away his "feed" , gave him hay made to help his digestive track, along with his greens and luckily after a week he's back to his old self! Luckily we found these healthy treats to still getting excited over some yummy treats, I will say at first he didn't want it then when he realized there would be no other treats he gave it a try and he ended up really liking these, more then his regular treyas /treats. Super happy with the outcome and deffinetly recommend them(+!

These work great! Bought these after noticing some funky sized/shaped poop in my cage. Wasn't sure which piggy it was and didn't want to spend a fortune at vet figuring it out. Gave all of them 1 of these and the issue stopped. They definitely work because anytime we go a bit without them I see the funky poops again. Well worth the money and they all like these.

Oxbow has recently made some major changes to their product lineup. They have discontinued some of their products and introduced new ones under a new product family called Natural Science. Included in this new lineup of products is this Natural Science Digestive Supplement, which is designed to promote gastrointestinal health in various small animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and various other small animals. And while I think this is a very beneficial product in certain scenarios, my review is concentrated on a rabbit owner attempting to move from Oxbow's older digestive supplement to this new one, and why I am not as happy with this as the digestive health product it replaced.For around 5 years, my rabbit was given a digestive supplement that Oxbow made called Papaya Fruit Plus. This fruit tablet contained digestive enzymes found in pineapple (Bromelain) and papaya (Papain), and has played a huge role in my rabbit's wellbeing. Based on what I have read & observed first-hand, I feel pineapple and papaya both help to normalize gut motility and digestion, and may help the body better utilize nutrients from other food sources. It is often given to rabbits to attempt to reduce the chance of deadly GI stasis from certain causes, as well as help avoid hair blockages (which is deadly for rabbits given they are unable to vomit and therefore must pass the hair.) Papaya Fruit Plus helped keep my bun's GI system functioning normally, and protected her from a GI blockage caused by hair accumulation. In other words, I found the product to be extremely effective and the active ingredients were ones that most other rabbit foods did not have. These unique active ingredients made the supplement into an additional layer to a healthy diet already using a high-quality pellet food, good timothy hay, and fresh vegetables, but without having ingredients which were redundant to the good-quality pellet food. It was also a product that most rabbits would eagerly accept, which is a big plus in and of itself.In September 2014, Oxbow discontinued Papaya Fruit Plus without having any direct replacement for it. Why they did this I do not know, but it has left a gap in my rabbit's nutrition. The most similar product is this Natural Science Digestive Supplement, but the two are radically different products. Papaya Fruit Plus uses enzymes found in pineapple and papaya. Natural Science Digestive Supplement is a timothy hay-based supplement that contains various added ingredients to form a multivitamin of sorts (but it does NOT contain pineapple or papaya).I attempted to switch to this Digestive Supplement with limited success. The first issue I ran into was that my rabbit just does not care for these as much as the Papaya Fruit Plus tablets, and she's usually not very picky. Usually she will eventually eat them, but reluctantly. While that doesn't mean these taste bad or that your rabbit(s) will or will not like them, it does mean my own rabbit is not a big fan and so feeding them is more of a pain in my personal situation.Additionally, Natural Science Digestive Supplement lacks the two main ingredients of Papaya Fruit Plus, and is VERY similar in makeup to Oxbow's premium pellet foods. I am already feeding my rabbit a mix of Oxbow Bunny Basics T and Oxbow Natural Science Rabbit...these pellet foods have a VERY complete nutrient profile and are already providing my bun with most of the nutrients found in Natural Science Digestive Supplement. Since my rabbit is already getting most of these nutrients in a sufficient quantity from her pellet food, is further increasing nutrient intake is beneficial or desirable? Oxbow's pellet foods use a balance of nutrients that are not too little and not too much...does further increasing these potentially upset this balance? And if so, are there potential risks? (I'm honestly not sure but would love to hear the opinion of an expert in rabbit nutrition as I am very curious.) Beyond this, Natural Science Digestive Supplement lacks both pineapple and papaya and those were the two ingredients that were why I justified using a supplement in addition to an already-balanced diet.After running out of Papaya Fruit Plus and moving exclusively to this, I noticed my rabbit's poop wasn't its normally ideal consistency of larger, round, and firm pellets of a consistent color (to non rabbit owners that probably sounds funny or weird, but rabbits making good poops is of the utmost concern because it speaks directly to health and is a tell-tale sign when something is not optimal, wrong, seriously wrong, etc.) At that point I purchased some remaining stock of Papaya Fruit Plus (for a very inflated price) and things went back to normal.So while many rabbits have or can benefit from Natural Science Digestive Supplement, it does not fulfill the role that Oxbow's discontinued Papaya Fruit Plus supplement played for my own rabbit. Natural Science Digestive Supplement does have a very complete nutrient profile, and is probably an excellent choice if someone needs a product to provide a significant amount of essential nutrients in a small-sized package, and it's certainly an excellent choice in supplying essential nutrients for rabbits that do not like to eat pellet foods. But because I am already using Oxbow's excellent pellet food and my rabbit eats it readily, I am not sure if further increasing nutrient intake is necessary, or how much this product will benefit rabbit owners already feeding their rabbits Oxbow's excellent pellet foods. As of right now, I am not sure what I am going to do when I can no longer find remaining bottles of Papaya Fruit Plus, but I do not think Natural Science Digestive Supplement will be able to take its place.Therefore, I recommend this product conditionally. In certain cases it is arguably a fantastic choice to supply a very complete profile of essential nutrients, especially if your rabbit does not like to eat fortified pellet food or needs nutrient intake beyond what an appropriate serving of pellet food can supply. However, if you have been using Papaya Fruit Plus and are looking for a replacement, I cannot recommend Natural Science Digestive Supplement.
