EMERAID Sustain Herbivore Recovery Food — 400 g Mint
Product description
EMERAID Sustain Herbivore is a concentrated recovery diet sold in a 400 g package and offered in a mint flavor intended for herbivorous small pets and reptiles. The product arrives as a dry powder that can be reconstituted with water to form a smooth, fast-absorbing slurry or a thicker paste depending on the animal’s needs.
The formula contains multiple fiber sources—timothy hay components, prebiotics and fruit enzymes such as papaya—aimed at promoting healthy gut motility and microbial balance. Protein is provided in hydrolyzed form alongside essential amino acids to support lean muscle maintenance during convalescence.
A blend of antioxidants and vitamins is included to bolster immune function: vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D and vitamin B12 are highlighted in the ingredient focus. Because the feed is calorie-dense, a relatively small serving can meet elevated energy needs during recovery or when used as a nutrient topper.
Use it rehydrated as a syringe-feedable food for animals that cannot eat hay or pellets, or serve it as a thickened paste or moist bowl ration for picky eaters. The mint note provides a pleasant aroma and flavor that many small pets accept readily.

Helpful replacement for recovery feed
Solid substitute for clinical recovery feed. I used it to help my guinea pig gain weight and he accepted it readily instead of his usual formula.

Essential for small-pet owners
Saved my guinea pigs more than once. They prefer this over other recovery powders, it keeps well, and the mint aroma is noticeable but pleasant.

Tasty and effective for older pigs
My senior guinea pig runs when I fetch the tub because she likes it so much. Young pigs want it too, and it supports digestion when they’re under the weather.

Got our senior pig back on track
After a clinic stay our elderly pig didn’t thrive until we watered this down and offered it as a moist paste with a little shredded apple. He recovered and still asks for a small portion each day.

Reliable emergency recovery food
We switched to this during a supply shortage of our usual feed and all our rescue pigs preferred the taste. It’s now a staple emergency item for us.

Works when other recovery foods fail
My underweight pig refused the other brand’s gritty mix, but took to this immediately. I mixed with water and a little unsweetened applesauce or veggie baby food and he ate willingly.

Tastes like a treat to my pigs
Perfect for pre-surgery appetite loss—our pig went nuts for it. Even the others get excited when they see it; it really encourages eating.

Saved me from syringe feeding (update included)
My pig ate this from a dish so I didn’t need to syringe feed. In a later case with another pig who resists feeding, he accepted a bowl of the mix with no fuss.

My chinchilla actually loves it
Found this as an alternative when our usual product was unavailable. It’s a rich green, smells fresh, soaks up water fast and my picky chinchilla devoured it.

Vital nutrition for my special-needs rabbit
Arrived promptly and as described. It’s been essential for a rabbit whose local options are limited.

More affordable than clinic packets
Vet suggested this for recovery and it matched the clinic’s sample. My guinea pig prefers its minty aroma over other brands and eats it eagerly.
