    Natural Science supplement - Oxbow

    I'm happy to hear Dumpling is doing well! :D I hope he is gaining weight. I've used coffee grinder to grind herbs. You can probably use food chopper as well - I just never tried using it. It is fine to store ground herbs for a few months in an air tight container or a Ziploc bag (just make sure...

    Natural Science supplement - Oxbow

    Try grinding alfalfa with a small amount of rolled oats and herbs (chamomile and leaf delight or chamomile and broad spectrum supplement) and mix with Critical care (about 50%). I would try feeding peppermint separately since not all chins like it. Also, may be try adding less water, and you...

    Thank you! :) I'm happy to hear that Dumpling seems to be doing a little better. While you are waiting for the herbs and Critical Care, you are feeding him hay, right? You said that you stopped giving him a pellet slurry, so I just want to make sure he has something to eat :D

    Sure, you can use that combination of herbs. I'll send you chamomile and peppermint as well, so you have them just in case :)) Yes, I was talking about alfalfa hay. Also, you can let him out of the cage for playtime (exercise is beneficial).

    You are welcome! You can use either a pellet slurry or Critical Care. It is fine to use several herbs, but you should not offer more than 3/4 - 1 teaspoon of crushed herbs per day (depends on what herbs you are using). If he is constantly fighting tummy gas, then my first priority would be to...

    You are welcome! It is great that you are using a herbal supplement :)) To decrease further tumor growth, red clover can be offered – it helps inhibit the production of blood vessels that are needed for the formation of tumors. I have red clover in stock right now, and you can probably purchase...

    Natural Science supplement - Oxbow

    It is best when chins get nutrients from unprocessed, plant sources. Processing reduces plants' nutrient value. Also, it can destroy some elements that are necessary for healthy liver function, etc. I would recommend using a herbal supplement. Herbs (dandelion, nettle, hawthorn, rose hips...

    About to lose my chin :(

    I have the kidney supplement that I can send you (just let me know if you'd like to order it). It was formulated for herbivores, and it contains renal protective herbs/kidney tonics. The formula supports kidneys and helps slow down the deterioration of renal function. The supplement helps...

    Liver problems

    I think that one of the best ways to support the liver is to use standardized silymarin. Here is a product that you can purchase: http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Thistle-Standardized-Silymarin/dp/B0013OULVA/ref=pd_sbs_hpc_1 You can give Ferdinand about 25mg (1/6 of the capsule since 1...

    Fresh Treats

    You can grow dandelion (chins enjoy dandelion leaves, flowers, and root) and nettle – both are very easy to grow. You just need to purchase organic seeds. However, I would dry herbs before offering them to chins. I tried growing a few plants that chins consume in the wild, but did not have much...

    Ways of Sleeping?

    Your little Chester is adorable and unique! :D

    Is this a treat suitable for chinchillas?

    The combination of herbs looks strange to me… I would recommend buying herbs from Galens Garden (UK website) instead. On this website, you can purchase dandelion leaf, dandelion root, nettle leaf and stalks, alfalfa, red raspberry leaf, rose hips, edible flowers, wood, etc.
