Energy & Vitality Hay Powder for Weight Maintenance & Nutritional Support

Energy & Vitality Hay Powder is a high-palatability supplementary food for rabbits and guinea pigs that need additional energy and nutrition.

It is particularly suitable for underweight small herbivores, growing rabbits and pregnant or lactating rabbits. It also provides nutritional support during recovery and other periods of increased nutritional need.

A rabbit that has stopped eating completely or has stopped producing droppings needs immediate veterinary care. GI stasis and dental or internal problems can become life-threatening within hours.

This formula provides supplementary nutrition when food intake is reduced. It is not an emergency treatment and does not replace veterinary care.

It is not a medicated appetite stimulant, but it contains banana and strawberry—fruits many rabbits and guinea pigs enjoy. Their naturally appealing aroma can help encourage eating when your pet has a reduced appetite or is feeling unwell.

Mixed with water, the finely ground powder forms a soft hay puree, making it convenient for pets that need easy-to-eat food and extra nutritional support.

Yes. This formula was developed for rabbits and guinea pigs that may benefit from additional calories and nutritional support.

The Timothy version contains approximately 6–8% crude fat, while the richer Alfalfa version contains approximately 7–8.5% crude fat and 12–14% crude protein.

Unexplained or ongoing weight loss should always be evaluated by a veterinarian experienced with rabbits and guinea pigs to determine the underlying cause.

It can be used as part of a post-surgery nutritional support plan when your rabbit or guinea pig can be fed by mouth.

Its high palatability and finely ground texture make it particularly convenient for animals that need soft food or assisted feeding during recovery.

Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions after surgery, especially if appetite remains poor or gastrointestinal obstruction is a concern.

Yes. The powder is finely ground and mixes smoothly with water, making it easy to prepare for syringe feeding. Its fine texture helps reduce clogging.

The amount of water can be adjusted depending on the desired consistency.

Assisted feeding should only be used when it is appropriate for your pet’s condition.

The Timothy Hay version is generally the more suitable choice for adult and senior rabbits and guinea pigs that need additional nutritional support.

The Alfalfa Hay version provides higher levels of protein, fat and calcium. It is particularly suitable for growing rabbits, pregnant or lactating rabbits, and animals that are underweight or have increased nutritional needs.

Yes. The Alfalfa Hay version provides a richer nutritional profile, including approximately 12–14% crude protein and 0.8–1.0% calcium, making it especially suitable for growing young rabbits with higher nutritional requirements.

Yes. The Alfalfa Hay version is particularly suitable during pregnancy and lactation when nutritional demands are increased.

It should be fed as part of a balanced diet, with unlimited hay and fresh water always available.

Yes. Both versions can be fed as supplementary foods for guinea pigs, depending on their age and nutritional needs.

Guinea pigs still need an adequate source of vitamin C in their diet.

The formula combines hay with strawberry and banana, fruits many rabbits and guinea pigs enjoy, and burdock, which many rabbits also love. Flaxseed, black sesame and perilla round out the blend.

Together, these ingredients create a richer natural aroma than our lighter daily formulas, helping encourage rabbits and guinea pigs to eat when their appetite is reduced.

It is designed to provide additional calories and nutrition to support gradual weight gain in underweight rabbits and guinea pigs.

The Alfalfa version provides a richer nutritional profile, while the Timothy version is suitable when additional energy is needed without switching to an alfalfa-based diet.

Yes, when the formula is appropriate for your pet’s age, condition and nutritional needs.

If you are feeding it temporarily during recovery or for weight support, the serving amount can be adjusted as your pet’s condition and body weight improve.

No. Long-strand hay should remain an important part of the daily diet whenever the rabbit or guinea pig is able to eat it.

Hay powder provides concentrated nutritional support and can be conveniently served as a soft puree or fed by syringe, but it does not provide the same prolonged chewing activity as long-strand hay.
